Former QuantSpark talent specialist, Annika Sanderson, has joined Vulse as a co-founder, adding to the leadership team of the software platform.
Vulse was founded by Social Republic CEO, Rob Illidge, to support LinkedIn employee advocacy campaigns and empower employees to create consistent, engaging content on the professional networking platform.
The business has grown rapidly adding thousands of active users, improving its internal development team, joining Microsoft and NVIDIA acceleration programs, as well as being named one of the most exciting tech companies in the UK.
Asanderson said: “I’m incredibly excited to be a part of the Vulse journey and will work alongside Rob to help achieve the global vision we have set, alongside people and talent projects which are the cornerstone of any unicorn.
Rob has created an incredible team in Manchester, and it’s an honour to be a part of a business that is changing the way employers and employees promote themselves online.”
CEO Illidge added: “Annika is a breath of fresh air and has instantly become an invaluable part of a team, with an in-depth knowledge of company culture, talent acquisition and employee advocacy.”
Vulse successfully raised £150k of funding in March 2023 from SFC Capital. It is aiming to raise an additional £300k investment for this funding round.
