Founded by an industry expert in leadership science, the platform serves both individual professionals and enterprise customers seeking data-driven talent decisions.

As customer demand expanded, the platform needed to evolve beyond its original assessment portal into a comprehensive talent management ecosystem without disrupting existing subscribers. To achieve this, the company partnered with Sigma Solve to modernize the platform, expand capabilities, and support long-term scalability.
