Dr. Reem Al Jneibi is an Emirati technologist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, institutional knowledge, and the future of work. She is the founder and CEO of Stellr, a company developing AI systems that help organizations capture, govern, and retain their institutional knowledge.

At Stellr, Dr. Reem leads the development of a Workforce OS: an operating system in which people and AI agents work as one accountable team, with agents onboarded like employees with defined roles, skills, memory, and policy-governed autonomy. Designed for sovereign deployment and for institutions in the UAE and the wider MENAT region, the system is currently in early testing. The company works with organizations across government, sovereign investment, and the startup ecosystem to centralize and govern their institutional data, and Dr. Reem has represented this work on international stages on behalf of the UAE.

Prior to founding Stellr, Dr. Reem served as Head of Technology and Data at Hub71, where she built the infrastructure and data systems supporting a national startup ecosystem. She co-founded TRIPP, a growth platform that won first place in the UAE at the Entrepreneurship World Cup, and earlier worked as a systems engineer at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan, where she modelled public-transport networks for Abu Dhabi.

Dr. Reem holds a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Engineering and an M.Sc. in Systems Engineering from Khalifa University, and a B.Sc. in Information Technology from Zayed University. Her doctoral research, conducted in collaboration with MIT, where she was a Visiting PhD Scholar at the Sloan School of Management and the Media Lab, examined how automation and artificial intelligence reshape the way people work and the skills institutions depend on. She is a published IEEE researcher on automation, skills evolution, and smart-city systems.
