“No matter how many clients I have, I make sure to call each one personally every quarter. It’s a chance to not only update them on their portfolio, but also check on how they’re doing personally”

Harriet Cuthbert has always believed that when people feel seen and valued, organisations can achieve extraordinary things. With over a decade of global HR and people operations experience, she has dedicated her career to putting people at the centre of every success story.
Harriet’s journey began in London, where she navigated the fast-paced worlds of hospitality and professional services within matrixed, globally dispersed organisations. When she moved to Australia, she stepped into the healthcare industry, helping one of the nation’s largest medical imaging companies keep people front and centre during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a pivotal time that deepened her belief in the power of connection, resilience and a good sense of humour.
Now, as head of people and culture at Smokeball, a global leader in legal software, Harriet is proud to be part of the global leadership team, shaping the future of a company that’s as committed to its clients as it is to its people.
At Smokeball, they believe the success of their team and the success of their clients are deeply intertwined. With the introduction of AI into their products, it’s an exciting time to innovate not just for their clients but also in how they work, lead and support their people. A strong advocate for employee wellbeing and engagement, Harriet champions initiatives that foster a culture where people feel empowered, supported and motivated to do their best work.
She has had the privilege of building on a strong culture that supports both team and community. Together, they have earned accolades as a Best Place for Women to Work by Great Place to Work and clinched the top spot as The Best Place to Work by WRK+.
A lover of travel, Harriet brings her curiosity about the world into her work, using diverse perspectives to help teams connect, grow and succeed while having a little fun along the way.
