Burnout, Benefits & the Board: West Monroe's Chief People Officer Tanya Moore (LIVE @ Transform 2026)

WATCH: Recorded live at Transform 2026, this episode features a candid sit-down between host Adam Poser and Tanya Moore, Chief People Officer at West Monroe — a business and technology consulting firm known for its differentiated culture, client NPS scores, and the fact that nearly 75% of its employees hold equity in the company. Tanya brings a remarkable depth of experience to the conversation: 20 years at IBM leading career and skills transformation on a global scale, followed by a CPO role at a design and engineering firm, and now three years at West Monroe where she's been systematically modernizing the company's people function from the ground up. She walked into an organization with no succession planning, no workforce planning, and a recruiting function built almost entirely on human effort with minimal automation — and she's been rebuilding it all with speed, intention, and a clear eye on candidate and manager experience. The conversation covers the full arc of the employee journey: what Tanya looked for as a senior-level candidate going through 18 interviews, how West Monroe's half employee-owned model shapes its total rewards philosophy, how the company is tackling burnout with more personalized mental health support, and how AI tools like BrightHire are transforming interview feedback loops without removing the human touch. Tanya also shares her refreshingly optimistic take on AI — likening it to the early days of the internet — and delivers one of the most quotable lines of the conference: "F around and find out." For HR leaders, people ops professionals, and anyone navigating a senior career move, this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom from someone who has sat on both sides of the interview table at the highest levels.
