Tara Furiani | PR Professional | Executive Coach | Keynote Speaker | Host of Not the HR Lady | People & DEI Consultant at Not the HR Lady

What happens when you mix relentless drive, academic prowess, and an innate knack for reading people? You get Tara Furiani.

She isn't just in the people business — she is the people business.

With over two decades of transformative leadership under her belt, Tara shatters the conventional, often stodgy, paradigms of HR and corporate culture, bringing humanity back into the workplace.

Dual Master's degrees in Psychology and Organizational Leadership and a JD, Tara's academic mettle is as rock-solid as her real-world chops. Her slew of advanced certifications aid in her toolkit for crafting highly responsive, agile organizations’ to better and more intentional people functions. Her 13 years as a Chief People Officer for companies valued over $6 billion and employing more than 10,000 people worldwide, give you a comprehensive picture of what Tara brings to the table. She’s not just a recognized thought leader in leading media publications like The Wall Street Journal and at events like The Sundance Film Festival, she’s a bonafide ‘C-Suite Executive’ with a track record of success across multiple industries.

But let's cut through the corporate jargon: Tara is a people champion at her core. She fights for DEI as a way of life, all the way from boardrooms on Earth to the realms of space, serving on NASA's DEI board. For Tara, equity isn't just a corporate initiative; it's a universal mandate and a deeply personal mission.

A mother of five, Tara knows and lives the real-world application of work-life balance like the professional she is. She's the beating heart of her home, roles she embraces with the same vigor as her corporate and entrepreneurial undertakings. Be it keynote speaking, fractional CPO roles or authoring books, Tara brings humanity to work and lays out the foundation for others to do the same and even better, why they should and what it means.

If you need further proof of her expertise, lend an ear to her hit podcast and YouTube show, "Not the HR Lady," where she tackles the industry's stale narratives and offers fresh, often revolutionary, perspectives, dripping in pop culture references and at times, sarcasm. And don't be fooled by the executive persona; she can drop a Dr. Dre lyric faster than you can say "organizational change."

When you partner with Tara Furiani, you’re not just getting a consultant, fractional advisor, board member or a recognized thought leader. You’re aligning with a living, breathing catalyst for meaningful change—in your organization and maybe, in your life too.
