Ethena
Ethena is a New York-based compliance and workplace-culture training platform that turns the most-dreaded items on the corporate calendar - harassment prevention, code of conduct, cybersecurity, DEI - into short, well-written, mobile-friendly lessons people actually finish. Founded in 2019 by Roxanne Bras Petraeus and Anne Solmssen, it pairs legally vetted content with microlearning, Slack/email nudges, an ethics hotline, case management and AI-built courses, serving customers like Netflix, Zendesk, Carta and Figma.
