Shelby Wolpa

Shelby Wolpa has spent 15+ years mastering people operations in high-growth tech companies like Palantir, Instacart, One Medical, and InVision. At InVision, she was the driving force behind their remote work strategies, leading an 800-person workforce spread across 30 countries and 40 U.S. states, all without a single office.

But at Responsive Conference 2025, Shelby won’t just be talking about distributed teams, she’ll be going deeper. In a candid fireside conversation with best-selling author and NYU Stern faculty member Suzy Welch, Shelby will reflect on her own career evolution and the challenges of reinvention in a rapidly changing, AI-powered world.

This session—Redefining Work—isn’t about theory. It’s about real pivots, hard decisions, and what it means to stay relevant and fulfilled when the playbook keeps changing. Drawing from her experience as a trusted advisor to CEOs, People Leaders, and VCs, Shelby will offer a rare look at what transformation actually looks like from the inside out.

If you’re navigating change, leading through disruption, or simply rethinking what meaningful work looks like, Shelby’s story will hit home.
