The Workplace Feed That Had to Earn Its Keep
Convo bet that a workplace conversation should live beside the document, decision or store update it concerns. H&M's US rollout made that argument unusually concrete: more than 15,000 employees across 500-plus stores.
Christel Billault Planned a Pause. Then Mentoring Changed the Plan.
After 25 years in B2B SaaS, Billault set out to trade the operating cadence for advisory work, family travel and a little French sunshine. An unexpected invitation from Chronus turned the pause into a new chapter in mentoring and HR tech.
Textio
Textio is a Seattle-based software company that uses augmented writing - natural language processing and machine learning - to help managers and recruiters write clearer, less biased workplace language. Born from a linguistics PhD's research into how word choice shapes who applies for jobs and how feedback lands, Textio turned bias into something measurable: it scores job posts and performance reviews in real time and suggests fixes. In 2026 it extended that thesis into hiring with Lavalier, an interview-intelligence product.
