Clarity at Speed: EDB’s CHRO on AI-Enabled HR, Manager-Led Change, and Growth Mindset Summary When your company is transforming fast, how do you keep people aligned, energized, and ready for what’s next? Einav Lavi, Chief Human Resources Officer at EnterpriseDB (EDB), shares how she’s steering a high-velocity shift from a database services company to a sovereign data and AI platform—without losing the human center. With a background in finance and 20+ years in PE-backed transformations, Einav breaks down the CEO–CHRO partnership, why HR must be both data-savvy and deeply empathetic, and how AI frees teams to focus on meaningful conversations. She details EDB’s change playbook: a company-wide growth mindset program, “framing memo” with a five-year plan, flat access to leaders, and manager-first enablement. Expect specifics—quarterly talent reviews driven by predictive attrition insights, AI-powered sourcing that reduced five sourcers to zero, and EQ training for managers—plus a practical ritual for balancing business results with employee care.
