Co-CEO & Chief Technical Officer
Founder and engineer; 8+ years C#/.NET; builds WorkWingman end to end

Chief Human Resources Officer, Advantage Solutions (NASDAQ: ADV); 25+ years in HR leadership for a 70,000-employee, 12-country workforce.

Why this role
WorkWingman argues that hiring should judge people fairly. Pam has spent 25 years on the employer side of that question — from an early-career rotation all the way to the CHRO seat of the same 70,000-person company — so she knows what the hiring side sees and expects at every level. That is exactly the perspective the product needs when it decides what to put in front of a recruiter.

David Porter Jr.
Executive Chairman
Harvard Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior; former EVP at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; co-created UCLA's African American Leadership Institute; Interim CEO, NACME.
An industrial engineer by training with a Harvard Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior — systems on one side, how people and organizations behave inside them on the other. Most recently EVP of Strategy, People + Culture at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, leading strategy, organizational transformation and human-capital strategy; before that Chief DEI Officer at Berkeley Haas and CEO of the Walter Kaitz Foundation. Today he is President of Stirrup Properties and Interim CEO of NACME, and was studying algorithmic hiring bias before he joined.
Executive education
Organizational behavior
Foundation leadership
Hiring-equity research
Organizational transformation
Human capital strategy
Change leadership
Executive coaching
Strategic planning
Why this role
He shared research on racial bias in AI hiring tools a month before joining — the chair of this company already understood the failure mode the product exists to counter. And he has spent a career making institutions take fairness seriously on their own terms: reframing diversity as hard metrics to get 24 competing companies benchmarking workforce data, leading people strategy at the Federal Reserve. That is exactly the governance a hiring-equity product needs as it scales.

2019-2020: executive leadership team member reporting to the Dean; grew scholarship funding and the diversity of faculty and senior leadership.
Executive Director & CEO — Walter Kaitz Foundation
2006-2018: raised $20M+ for industry diversity programs; created the Hollywood Creative Forum; drove the first industry-wide workforce diversity survey (24 companies, 281,000 employees).
CEO — Bi-Coastal Consulting, LLC
2003-present: organizational strategy, leadership development and executive coaching for Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits and universities.
Director of Graduate Programs — Howard University School of Business
2003-2006: grew entering-class enrollment over 250% in three years and annual fundraising from $50K to $300K+.
Faculty Director, Executive Education — UCLA Anderson
1998-2017: co-created the African American Leadership Institute (2,000+ graduates) and NAMIC's executive leadership program; clients included IBM, Intel, Pepsi, Raytheon, Warner Media and Wells Fargo.

Chief Marketing Officer - 20-year marketing executive at Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Meta/Facebook (NASDAQ: META), Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Deloitte Digital, DC United (MLS), and IQ Rush
The first-ever CMO at the National Women's History Museum, appointed September 2025, after leading marketing for D.C. United and senior roles across Microsoft, Marriott, Verizon and Deloitte Digital.
Brand strategy
Communications
Digital engagement
Corporate partnerships
Why this role
A product that helps people tell their own story needs someone who does that for a living. At Microsoft, Lisa ran the marketing pushes for LinkedIn, Bing and Xbox: she has already marketed the professional network our users job-hunt on, to the people doing the hunting. That is the audience WorkWingman serves, and the cultural, mission-driven register this company speaks in is one she has worked in from Meta and Verizon to an MLS club.

Why this role
A product only improves if real users are heard and the right doors get opened. Nick has spent his career doing both: running the research that tells you what people actually need, and signing the partnerships that put a product in front of institutions. He has done it for AR city-planning tools at inCitu and as one of four founders at Spectra Cities, and he ran a Code for America brigade before that. He does the research that keeps the team honest.

Plans and builds across WorkWingman and the tools that run the team
The senior engineer of the AI side of the team. Takes work from idea to shipped feature across the WorkWingman app and the shared systems the whole AI family runs on, coordinates the other AI teammates, and refuses to call anything done until it is verified working. The team is reachable in Slack and by email, tracks its work on a shared board, and reports back to Andrew in both plain and technical language.

Judgment calls

Nothing Clahadore builds ships on his own say-so: every change is independently reviewed by at least two other AI teammates and verified against the running product before it lands.
