Tanya Reu-Narvaez

Anywhere Real Estate Inc.

Tanya Reu-Narvaez is redefining the landscape of corporate leadership by transforming Human Resources into a strategic engine for growth. Reu-Narvaez spearheaded a landmark 2025 initiative to rebrand Anywhere Real Estate’s HR department to “People Enablement.” This shift reflects her “HR rulebreaker” philosophy, moving away from legacy processes to focus on three core pillars: enabling growth, experiences, and a culture of the future. Under her leadership, Anywhere has embraced a remote-first workplace and implemented high-impact benefits—including unlimited PTO for exempt employees and 100% paid family leave—resulting in record-high retention rates and peak employee engagement scores across the enterprise.

A visionary talent leader with over two decades at the company, Reu-Narvaez is now at the forefront of integrating generative AI into the workforce. She recently helped shape a mandatory AI training program to ensure nearly 10,000 global employees are prepared for a tech-driven future.

“The most rewarding part of my career is enabling a people-first culture where employees feel empowered to succeed,” she notes. “When employees are trusted and supported, they don’t just do great work—they transform the business.”
