about culture rebel

Culture Rebel launched in 2025 after spending over 10 years working inside fast-growing businesses across all sorts of industries — from media and hospitality to biotech. Over the years, one thing became really clear: the way a company feels on the inside massively impacts how it performs on the outside.

We’ve always been passionate about creating great workplace experiences. Not the fluffy kind — the kind that helps people do their best work, feel supported, and really enjoy being part of the team.

What we love most is working with founders and entrepreneurs to figure out what makes their business tick. By understanding your commercial goals, we help you shape a people strategy that drives performance and feels good for the humans behind the hustle.

Our superpower? Building strong relationships, spotting team issues before they become real problems, and creating cultures where people feel fired up, not fed up. Culture Rebel is all about helping you build a high-performing culture.
