Meet the Team

Founder & Head Consultant

Natalie (Rast) Brill

Natalie is a seasoned People Leader whose diverse industry experience across consumer, wellness, and tech sectors has given her a unique perspective on creating and scaling people-first cultures. After launching her career at Warby Parker, she joined Y7 Yoga as the first HR hire, where she built the People function from the ground up—growing the team from 100 to 340 employees, scaling to 15 studios across the US, and helping land them on Inc. Magazine's 2018 Fastest Growing Companies list and cover story. Later recruited to lead People Operations at Stensul, a SaaS Martech company, she drove significant improvements in their culture and hiring strategies before recognizing an opportunity to create broader impact across the startup ecosystem. This insight inspired her to found Human Quotient with a mission of enabling founders to build intentional, people-first cultures from day one, driven by her belief that work should be a place where people thrive both professionally and personally.

Rob Thomas

Rob Thomas is an accomplished People Leader with nearly 15 years of experience spanning HCM, wellness, fintech, healthtech, non-profit, and hospitality sectors. Starting in payroll at Paychex and Namely, Rob built fundamental expertise in end-to-end payroll management and benefits strategy before joining Y7 Studio as Natalie's second-in-command, where he discovered his passion for building talent infrastructure. His career progressed through BlockFi, where he launched their first global recognition program during 5x employee growth, and Ribbon Health (now H1), where as their second people operations hire, he implemented initiatives across the entire employee lifecycle that contributed to securing a $43.5M Series B round. When Natalie founded Human Quotient, Rob eagerly reunited with her to continue their shared mission, driven by his conviction that strategic, human-centric people operations drive business outcomes and create environments where employees and companies flourish together.
