General

What is Corporate Rebels?

Corporate Rebels is a global movement on a mission to make work more fun. We help organizations move from rigid hierarchies to progressive, human-centered ways of working. Having visited and researched over 200 pioneering workplaces worldwide, we share battle-tested practices through our newsletter, Masterclass, and Rebel Cells. We practice what we teach by buying and operating companies that show better results come with more human-centered ways of working.
