Vivek Ravisankar is the Co-founder and CEO of HackerRank. He has built a community of over 30 million developers who use the platform to hone their skills.

Vivek grew up in India, studied Computer Science at NIT Trichy, and worked at Amazon before starting HackerRank with his college classmate Hari Karunanidhi. Both were on interview panels, inundated with endless hours of resume reviews, phone screens, and onsite interviews. They watched unqualified candidates make it through while some of their most capable friends were passed over because of their GPA or lack of a prestigious degree. That broken system became the problem they set out to fix. HackerRank was the first India-based company accepted into Y Combinator and is now a global platform where every second, two candidates take a HackerRank assessment.

We are in a pivotal moment in tech. AI is redefining the developer role, and engineers today are becoming orchestrators of AI agents. Vivek and the HackerRank team are at the center of this shift, helping developers and the companies that hire them adapt in real time.

Learn from Vivek what HackerRank is seeing across thousands of companies and millions of developers, and what it means for hiring, upskilling, and building teams in the age of AI.

Rebecca has been with Eightfold nearly five years (December marks the big milestone!) — first helping to build the Customer Success team, then making the jump to Marketing in 2024, where she now serves as Sr. Director of Talent-centered Transformation. Before that, she spent 20+ years in TA leadership across retail, CPG, agri-business, and restaurants, which means she understands leaders, practitioners, candidates, and vendors.

She’s a connector, strategist, and storyteller who can find patterns in the chaos and cut through noise with clarity — often with a story that makes people nod along and think, “Yes, that’s exactly it.” She partners with leaders and teams to sketch out the art of the possible, spark new ideas, and turn future-focused visions into practical next steps.

Outside of work, Rebecca is just as energized. You might find her off-roading in her FJ, cycling, hiking, watching hockey, or plotting elaborate murder mysteries (the fun kind — written and facilitated, not committed). She’s also a food enthusiast, traveler, bookworm, youth mentor, and proud mom of three adult kids. She grew up outside of Chicago, did her undergrad in Seattle, MA in Minneapolis, and currently lives south of Phoenix.

Her CliftonStrengths are Activator, Strategic, Futuristic, Connectedness, and Includer — a mix that explains why she’s equally at home inspiring vision, building community, and getting things moving.
