Marie Krebs has held senior People team roles at various tech companies, as well as co-founding the HR community People Stories. She experienced sudden, short bursts of depression for years before finally figuring out she was suffering from pre-menstrual dysphoria.

Since then, Marie has become a leading advocate destigmatising the topic of periods at work. She regularly advises companies and HR teams on period policies & hosts webinars on the topic.
