Rebecca Brown brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of people operations, enterprise technology, and data governance — a background that reflects a conviction central to Census Networks: that HR systems are security infrastructure. The platforms that onboard employees, verify identities, and hold workforce data are among an enterprise's most sensitive assets, and Rebecca has spent her career building and protecting them at global scale.

Since 2024, Rebecca has served as Founder and Principal Consultant of RB Technology Consulting, acting as fractional CHRO and strategic advisor to startups and mid-market companies on HR transformation, AI implementation, org design, IPO readiness, and globalization. Her engagements have included one of the best-funded companies in the ransomware protection space and leading HR initiatives at several publicly traded pharmaceutical and technology companies — work that placed her directly at the seam between workforce operations and enterprise security.
Previously, Rebecca was Senior Director of People Technology and Operations at Guardant Health, where she led the company's global HR technology roadmap, directed a full Workday re-implementation spanning more than fifty integrations, and delivered GDPR and SOX compliance milestones on Board-level timelines. Her shared-services model for employee support sustained a 99% employee satisfaction rating over eighteen months of continuous monitoring.
Before Guardant, Rebecca spent six years at BD (Becton Dickinson), leading global HRIS strategy and the HR program management office for M&A activity covering more than 80,000 employees in over 70 countries — including 40+ acquisitions, two mergers, and three divestitures. She previously led the HR technology integration of BD and CareFusion, and earlier held operations and analytics leadership roles at Cerner Corporation, including on-site client operations leadership for Palomar Health.
At Census Networks, Rebecca applies this experience to a new frontier: helping enterprises defend the employment lifecycle itself, where identity, trust, and workforce data converge — and where the next generation of security threats is already emerging.
