Elizabeth Owens Bille has a passion for law, policy and human resources. Before she became a lawyer, she focused on public policy at the state and federal level for the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). After law school, she became a labor and employment attorney at Hogan & Hartson (now Hogan Lovells), and then worked as an adviser for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Bille later returned to SHRM, where she eventually rose to general counsel.

But with the advent of the #Me Too movement, however, she wanted to find ways to prevent harassment and was given an opportunity to help companies do so at EVERFI Inc., a company that partners with companies that want to give broad-scale training to their workforces on issues such as harassment and discrimination.
