Relida Yorkell

Head of Operations & Compliance  

Relida Yorkell is a dedicated People Strategist and Operations leader who believes that at the heart of every great organization is its people. With a career spanning over 15 years—most recently as Senior Director of People Operations at Brightcove—she has become a go-to expert for executive teams looking to build agile, AI-enhanced workplaces that actually work for the humans inside them. Whether she’s redesigning complex workflows or navigating the intricacies of global compliance, Relida is known for her tireless work ethic and her ability to lead with both precision and kindness.

Relida’s journey began in Albania, and her experience as an immigrant has shaped her into a leader who deeply values perspective, resilience, and inclusivity. This background fuels her commitment as a fierce advocate for women, focused on ensuring they have the resources and support needed to thrive as equals in every room they enter.

When she isn’t architecting the future of work, Relida is a devoted animal lover who finds joy in supporting her community and the creatures within it. She brings this same spirit of care to her role at Leaps for Peace, where she ensures that the foundation is strong so that leadership training can reach the young professionals who need it most.
