8 HUMAN RESOURCES Our ABE philosophy (of the people, by the people, for the people) empowers professionals to take charge of their careers, while assisting companies in finding the “best-fit” talent. Individuals can now leverage their professional data, enabling more informed career decisions at every junction of their career journey. Through profile verification, we eliminate “professional catfishing” and ensure better employee-to-employer matches based on distinct requirements. To ensure ABE becomes a trusted resource with unparalleled accuracy in data-driven career decisions, I recognized the importance of having a data expert on my leadership team. Serena, former global head of people analytics at PayPal, was the perfect fit. In our beta-testing phase, we educate users on the potential of their own data, showcasing the effectiveness of our matching algorithm. We provide immediate value through features such as our accomplishment tracker and Career Vault. These allow individuals to securely store their professional data and share a validated highlight form, boosting competitiveness in the job market. Our next milestone involves analyzing deeper insights, leveraging ABE AI for personalized job matches and effective career exploration. BETH ELLETSON EDUCATION llove what micro schools are doing, but a lot of times, they don’t have the technology to support entrepreneurially inclined children. One has started referring some of its techie kids to me, so we’re establishing a feeder pattern and ensuring their potential is realized. My work is supported by monthly subscriptions and grants. I also partner with nonprofits. I find out what my kids like and source opportunities for them from top companies and universities. For instance, four of my students got accepted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s summer youth AI program. There are opportunities in the tech industry, but I noticed that minorities are not really aware of them. I want to mentor minorities to solve global tech problems. I know this is what I am supposed to do because it is working. My kids are progressing.
