To start, tell us briefly about you. What is your current role at your company, and what are the measurable achievements you are most proud of?
I’ve dedicated my career to building strong company cultures and solving employee experience challenges within modern, global companies. Before founding Qualee, I served as a management consultant and held several executive roles in technology companies. My journey also includes several years in the Formula 1 ecosystem, where I developed a deep appreciation for the ambition and value of high-performing teams. These experiences fueled my drive to create Qualee, an award-winning employee experience platform that fosters organizational alignment and belonging. As for measurable achievements I’m proud of – our clients have reported substantial increases in employee engagement scores and productivity as well as notable reductions in regrettable attrition rates. We’ve expanded our global reach to serve diverse industries across numerous countries, demonstrating the universal applicability of our platform. Our high platform adoption and customer retention rates place us among the top performers in the HR Tech space. Additionally, I’m particularly proud of the recognition Qualee has received, including multiple industry awards that validate our innovative approach to enhancing employee experience and organizational culture.What pain point(s) do you solve for your customers? What was the “aha Moment” that led to the idea? Can you share that story with us?
At Qualee, we address critical pain points that many companies face when it comes to employee engagement and experience. Traditional HR tools often prioritize the needs of administrators, leaving employees feeling disconnected and lacking a sense of belonging. This can lead to low productivity, low engagement, and high turnover rates. Our platform flips this paradigm by focusing on the employee first, ensuring that every interaction throughout the employee lifecycle is seamless, tailored and engaging—from pre-boarding and onboarding, ongoing learning and upskilling, to continuous employee sentiment analysis and eNPS improvement recommendations, to offboarding. The inspiration behind Qualee stemmed from my co-founder and I recognizing this gap in the HR tech market. We both could relate to the anxiety of starting a new job and dealing with ineffective management. Our professional experience also reinforced how essential employee experience is. Especially from my background of working with Formula 1, I have seen firsthand how a strong company culture, dependable collaboration, consistent communication, streamlined processes and constructive feedback are key to winning teams. If we could create a platform that addressed these pain points by putting employees at the center, we could not only improve individual experiences but also drive overall business success. Our solution combines the best of what we’ve learned, making it easier for companies to foster an engaged, high-performing workforce.

What I’m most proud of, though, is the loyalty and positive feedback we’ve received from our clients. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that we’re making a real difference in their organizations.
And, of course, I can’t talk about pride without mentioning my incredible team. Their dedication and support have been unwavering, especially as I’ve navigated the challenges becoming a mother recently while continuing to lead our company. Their commitment has been instrumental in our success, and I’m truly grateful to be leading such a remarkable group of people.
