About Grace Tallon
Hi, I'm Grace.
I'm the Co‑founder of Work Time Revolution, where we help organizations redesign how we work - harnessing AI for productivity while creating space for people to thrive. I also founded Women 4 Work Time Revolution to conduct research and campaign for policy changes like collective flexibility.
I specialize in unlocking human creativity and human‑centered design - helping organizations ensure the productivity gains of AI are shared as time dividends that improve lives, not just bottom lines. I'm focused on gender equality, closing workplace inequalities, reducing burnout, and replacing outdated systems with models where innovation, equity, and wellbeing drive performance together.
I served as a politician in Ireland, leading progressive policy change and championing initiatives that centered on equality and social justice.
I have worked with 4 Day Week Global, as an Executive Director of a non-profit, co‑founded &Co. to help people disconnect from tech and reconnect with creativity, and advised organizations as a strategic consultant on workplace transformation and leadership.
My passion for creativity goes beyond work design. As a Visiting Scholar at Salem State University, I conducted research on how music education can break down barriers to social mobility.
Creativity builds the skills AI can't replicate: judgment, adaptability, and imagination. In the age of AI, authenticity will be key to differentiating yourself. Anyone can find information now - knowledge is easy to acquire, but knowing what to do with it, how to distil and bundle it, will be the real skill. I bring a background that spans politics, advocacy, research, and the arts - bridging strategy with storytelling, and data with real‑world change, delivering real-world ideas and solutions to audiences.
