Summary
Annie and Michael Hedgpeth are the co-founders of People Work, a bootstrapped software company helping professionals get intentional about the relationships that drive their careers. Annie is the CEO, with a non-traditional path through casting directing, cloud engineering, and software engineering at HashiCorp. Michael is the CTO, with a background in engineering leadership at NCR and Splunk. Together, they're building a private, native platform that helps people turn relationship-building into a daily practice, because as AI takes over more technical work, the professionals who invest in trust and collaboration will be the ones who win.
