Head of Growth

Our client is the world’s largest investment corporation which has rolled out a networking platform that enables users to connect and share information in an intuitive way. Users can build their personal brand as subject matter experts, expand their reach, and stay up to date with colleagues and clients.

While it is impossible for any human to know tens of thousands of people, a computer system can. Their solution leverages a combination of system-driven and user-provided data to surface richer and more complete business-relevant profiles on an organization’s people, teams, jobs, universities, alumni, communities, and clients than has ever been made available before. It is designed to be able to share the right information with the right person at the right time.

As a spin-off, this platform now has 25,000 monthly active users and growing, with a 5x engagement year to date.

“Global organizations are competing to get the best return on their largest investment: their people,” says its founder. “It helps them maximize that return by unleashing an even greater strength: the collective intelligence of their entire workforce.”
