Denise Hummel

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RevWork, Inc., Denise Hummel’s company was recently accepted into Microsoft for Start-Ups and Microsoft Co-Sell. The enterprise SaaS platform she developed to sustain inclusion behaviors is now being used by enterprise to create and sustain organizational transformation at scale. New use cases include succeeding in a remote working environment, sales enablement, and a variety of other leadership behavior transformation initiatives.

One of the nation’s experts in organizational culture transformation, Denise Pirrotti has been leveraging her knowledge of human and organizational behavior from her undergraduate days at Columbia University to facilitate organizational transformation at scale by supporting and sustaining targeted leadership behaviors.

Hummel is particularly focused on the behavior of inclusion. While she is known for her role as the attorney who litigated and won the first class-action under the Americans with Disabilities Act, her career since then has been focused on the opportunity, rather than the compliance side of Diversity & Inclusion.

In 2010, Denise founded an organizational culture consulting firm where she supported Aon-Hewitt’s international M&A people integration and built Deloitte’s success analytics for Global Mobility. She also supported the U.S. Department of Defense to develop their cross-cultural readiness of intelligence advisors and diplomats.

Denise sold her first firm to Ernst & Young in 2016 and became a Principal leading “Culture, Inclusion and Innovation” initiatives for EY’s Fortune 1000 clients and developed EY’s client-facing methodology for Diversity & Inclusion client engagements. She won EY’s Annual Innovation Award the first year of her tenure.
