Betterworks is committed to developing best-in-class HR talent management solutions aimed at enabling exceptional performance by putting employee experience at the heart of how companies align, motivate, retain and develop their people. Ours is the only enterprise-ready performance solution, proven to support companies with fewer than a thousand employees all the way to hundreds of thousands. A recent study showed employees that use Betterworks report higher job satisfaction and eNPS than those using other solutions. And the results speak for themselves – the Betterworks community breaks retention benchmarks other software providers dream of reaching.

I’m fortunate to work for a company that has a vision and values that align as much in our culture as they do in our technology solutions. We have a culture of transparency and accountability that brings out both the human side in each of us and an unwavering commitment to customer success. We believe that the right solution helps employees feel more valued, more empowered, and more ready for what’s next. This leads to breakthrough results for the business and the kind of place where people want to work – and that’s what we want for all of our customers.

15+ years broad experience in the fields of the cloud computing services and solutions, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, OpenStack, SDN, Mobile, DevOps, CI/CD, Agile, Big Data, Analytics, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and AI.
