In June 2013, I co-founded a company called Zealify. At Zealify we helped high growth small and medium sized companies grow their employer brand in order to attract talent. We helped these companies communicate what makes them a unique, exciting place to work. Zealify provides a platform for discovering some of London's most exciting employers. It gives an in-depth insight into everything a candidate would need to know to decide if the company was the right place for them, including information on the company culture, values, team, clients and work environment. Using professional content (photography, videography & written content) we created in depth profiles on Zealify.com allowing candidates to gain real insights into company culture. We grew the site to a candidate audience of over 15,000+ monthly users. 

Key achievements within Zealify:

  • led our angel investment round raising from notable investors including industry experts.
