about us
Founder: Heather Grunkemeier
With over 10 years of experience in product management (including 3 years in Singapore and 2 in London), I discovered my true calling in 2017: to make technology products safer and inspire others to do the same. As a dedicated professional in product management, I possess exceptional analytical and communication skills, along with a wealth of experience in leading diverse teams. I have successfully crafted strategies to build trust, make communities safer, and deliver on key business results.
Notably, I recently spearheaded the Trust and Safety strategy for Rover, where I collaborated with stakeholders across the organization to prioritize risks and developed a comprehensive, multi-year, roadmap to address them. Through my efforts, I significantly reduced the time between detecting issues and taking action, enhanced customer trust-building programs, and formulated numerous impactful Trust and Safety policies.
Finally, I have personally experienced the transformative effects of mindfulness in managing stress and promoting well-being, and I'm eager to share my insights with fellow trust and safety professionals who face unique challenges in their work.
