  • Brian Jan, dbt Labs:

Rebecca is an exceptional professional and an even better person. She joined dbt Labs shortly after I did during a period of rapid growth and quickly became a foundational force in scaling the company. 

As the founding member of the Onboarding & Activation team, Rebecca built the function from the ground up. Her work materially reduced time-to-value on the dbt platform, improved retention and churn outcomes, and laid the groundwork for the world-class, global 24/5 team of 10+ that exists today. She later designed and launched dbt Labs’ Authorized Onboarding Partner program, single-handedly serving as the go-to expert for partner strategy, enablement, and escalations.

Rebecca brings a rare combination of strengths: the ability to design durable, enterprise-scale systems, a sharp cross-functional mindset that consistently connects the dots, and a genuine human warmth that elevates every interaction. Any company would be lucky to have her, and I would happily work with her again.

  • Eric Albrecht, MBA, dbt Labs:

I am happy to recommend Rebecca Murray, an exceptional professional with whom I had the privilege of working closely for over three years at dbt Labs.

Rebecca and I partnered on complex onboarding and activation engagements, ensuring projects were properly scoped, scheduled, and executed for the Services organization. Our collaboration extended to building comprehensive Salesforce reporting to track delivery progress, surface risk, and measure outcomes at scale. One of our most impactful initiatives was the Authorized Onboarding Partner program, where Rebecca led the development of partner enablement resources that created meaningful value across the dbt ecosystem.

What truly sets Rebecca apart is her unwavering customer- and partner-centric mindset. She consistently prioritizes long-term outcomes and trust, which is why her relationships are so strong and enduring. Rebecca doesn’t just build business connections—she builds credible, durable partnerships that drive mutual success.

Rebecca exemplifies a true startup builder mentality. She repeatedly stepped into new, ambiguous roles as the company scaled, proactively identifying gaps and creating structure where none existed. Her adaptability and ownership were instrumental in dbt’s growth into a $100M+ ARR company.

Rebecca combines strategic thinking, operational excellence, and deep customer empathy. Any organization would be fortunate to have her on their team.

  • Faith Lierheimer, dbt Labs:

Rebecca and I worked together on complex enterprise customer accounts at dbt Labs, and she consistently stood out as a strategic builder who pairs big-picture thinking with disciplined execution.

One of Rebecca’s most impactful contributions was originating dbt’s Advocate Accreditation program—a cornerstone of our partner ecosystem. She designed the program to equip partners with a shared command of the message, ensuring consistency in how dbt was positioned, how prospects were qualified, and how customer needs were translated into real outcomes. It was a true force multiplier for the business.

Rebecca also excels in high-stakes, customer-facing work. She approaches crucial conversations with a rare mix of tact and directness, quickly cutting through ambiguity to get to the root of complex situations. She was an exceptional collaborator—clear-eyed, honest, and focused on solving the real problem rather than dancing around it.

Finally, Rebecca is relentlessly curious and fast to learn. She took on multiple roles at dbt, rapidly building the skills required for each and consistently raising the bar on what the work could look like.

On a personal note, Rebecca is a fantastic teammate. We pushed each other to think bigger, execute better, and grow professionally, and I genuinely loved working with her.
