Overview
Work Experience
Co-Founder & CEO
2021 - Current
The way we work is changing, but compensation — salary, bonus, equity and benefits — has not evolved for decades. The current rigid, one-size-fits-all approach is outdated and fails to satisfy the needs of the modern workforce. Coverflex is changing that. This all-in-one tech-enabled platform enables all companies — regardless of their size — to design, consolidate and personalise their compensation offers beyond salary. Companies can supercharge their employee benefits while saving both time and money. Coverflex calls this “Compensation as a Service”.
