Georgina Robilliard is a People & Operations leader with a passion for designing culture-first teams. She’s spent her career inside growing technology companies—often remote or distributed—building the systems and relationships that keep humans at the center of work. At Playgrounded Co, Georgina helps teams rethink connection and collaboration for the modern workplace. Her approach blends strategic leadership with play and provocation, showing that meaningful work doesn’t have to be dull.
Work isn’t working — for humans or for business. Engagement is falling, burnout is rising, and the dominant model of work most of us follow? It was invented in the 1760s. In this provocative session, Georgina and Stefan unpack what’s broken about the current paradigm and why it’s failing today’s teams. They argue for a new mental model—one rooted in creativity, collaboration, and connection—that’s built for the complexity of modern work. Backed by data and plenty of memes, they’ll challenge us to design something better: for people, for culture, and for performance.
