Global Head of People


Pea is the Global Head of People at Relevance AI, where she partners with founders to build and scale a world-class team globally. With over a decade of experience in high-growth technology companies, she has led talent, culture, performance, and organisational scaling initiatives through periods of rapid growth and transformation.
Today, Pea leads an AI-native people function, managing a team of four people alongside 10 AI agents that support hiring, operations, employee experience, and people analytics. Her focus is on increasing talent density, building high-performing teams, and creating the systems that help startups scale without losing what makes them special.
Pea is passionate about helping leaders navigate the realities of growth and sharing practical lessons on how AI is reshaping the future of work and people leadership.
AI becomes most valuable when it moves beyond experimentation and into everyday work. In this practical session, I’ll show how our People & Talent team uses agents across hiring, people operations and decision-making—including what we’ve built, the problems each agent solves and how they fit into our workflows. I’ll share real use cases, examples of what has saved us time, and the failures and lessons along the way. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for identifying valuable agent opportunities and getting started in their own teams.
