When I Work Paves Minneapolis "Silicon Skyway," Adding Best-in-Class SaaS and Service LeadershipWhen I Work, the easiest way to schedule, track time and communicate with hourly employees, has announced the addition of two new members of its management team, with a goal of enhancing its customer acquisition care and product capabilities. Ramping for growth after a $15 million round raise last spring, these new executives mark the latest best-in-class talent When I Work has recruited from New York's "Silicon Alley" and California's "Silicon Valley" tech hub regions in recent months.
Stockpiling expertise across most of its executive ranks in 2016, the senior tech talent When I Work has drawn from both coasts serves to complement other Twin (News - Alert) Cities-based additions made earlier in 2016. Minnesotans joining When I Work last year included LeeAnn Belski, VP of Human Resources, who came on board after similar leadership roles at software leaders ArcServe and Highjump; and Shane Helget, VP of Engineering, who had previously held lead roles at Workfront, Digital River and OptumHealth. "We have assembled an incredible leadership team with diverse, powerful, and deep experience in high-growth companies," says Chad Halvorson, CEO of When I Work. "They are also passionate about delivering unprecedented customer service, know how to scale businesses, lead by example, value mentorship and community involvement, and have an unwavering commitment to helping us achieve our mission of making employer and worker lives less complicated, less uncertain and less wasteful of time." "We're able to attract this talent to Minneapolis because of our business track record and vision, not to mention the quality of work and life in the Twin Cities," adds Halvorson. "We believe this geography -and When I Work - is the next epicenter of technology and service innovation." "Business owners are desperate for stronger, more authentic relationships with their employees," says Martinez. "When I Work provides helpful workforce management tools-but it's also enabling unforgettable experiences and creating value on a level that few businesses in SaaS can replicate. It's that kind of differentiation and company-wide culture that drew me to this role."
