Meet Nirit

Making sense of how work is changing and what to do about it.

Work is changing faster than most organizations, leaders, and systems can keep up.
The challenge isn’t seeing what’s coming — it’s knowing how to translate it into action.

I’m Nirit Cohen, a global thought leader and strategist on the future of work.
After nearly three decades in senior HR and strategy roles at Intel — across the U.S., Europe, and Asia — I’ve lived the complexity of transformation from the inside.
I’ve sat in boardrooms where the future is planned and in teams where it’s felt.
That’s what makes my work different: I bridge bold ideas with practical strategies that help people and organizations not just adapt to change — but lead it.

What I Do

As a Future of Work Curator, I don’t just talk about trends — I help you understand what they mean for you.
I translate complex shifts — AI, skills, flexibility, new models of employment — into strategies, stories, and experiences that inspire change and build influence.

My approach combines strategic foresight with on-the-ground realism:

• Credibility from 30 years inside a global enterprise

• Creativity from a decade of writing one of the most widely read columns on the Future of Work (now at Forbes)

• Connection through The Future of Less Work platform — a multi-channel ecosystem including podcast, newsletters, and keynotes that reach thousands of executives and thought leaders around the world.

Who I Work With — and Why

I collaborate with two types of partners who are shaping what’s next:

Organizations & HR Leaders: When your people systems — hiring, development, leadership, structure — no longer fit the pace of business, I help you reimagine them. Together, we identify the few levers that will make the biggest difference: aligning talent, skills, and leadership with your strategy for a more agile, future-ready organization.

Solution Providers & Brands: If you’re trying to reach HR decision-makers or position your voice in the future-of-work conversation, I help you tell your story in a way that resonates. We align your message with the questions executives are asking right now — turning your insight into influence through strategic content, narrative partnerships, and the Future of Less Work podcast.

What You Get From Working With Me

• Clarity on where the world of work is going — and how your story fits in it.

• Relevance that connects your goals to the most urgent shifts in people, work, and technology.

• Focus on what doing things differently could look like for you — not theory, but practical direction.

• Momentum to move from understanding change to leading it.
