Meet the team

Why we founded aimcast

The workplace has changed. Workforces are now spread across offices and time zones, many employees work remotely at least one day per week, organizations now deploy a large number of contractors, and hybrid workforces have become the norm.

Even though the nature of the workplace has changed, the way we communicate and distribute knowledge has not. Most organizations are stuck in a one-size-fits-all rut, using outdated tools and processes built for yesterday’s workplace.

The result? Leaders are struggling to connect with their teams, employees are struggling to find the information they need when they need it, and organizations face disengagement and lack of alignment.

We founded Aimcast to solve these problems. We wanted to build a modern, personalized platform that helps leaders be heard above the digital noise, helps employees attain a better work/life balance, and helps organizations build an engaged, productive, and satisfied workforce – in a fun, social-focused way.

who we are

We are a diverse team of leaders and advisors who have already changed the worlds of technology, entertainment, military intelligence, healthcare, sports, communications and more — and who have come together to transform how workforces connect.
