Who it's for

HR, finance, and operations leaders at growth-stage and enterprise companies managing hiring and retention.

Founder

Lin is Co-founder and CEO of Modus. Before Modus, she was a VP BizOps at HashiCorp and helped scale from 100 to 2500 employees to IPO (rang the bell in NY). Prior to that, she implemented ERP systems at five Fortune 500 companies as a Deloitte Consultant. The clunky nature of these tools led her to appreciate the flexibility of spreadsheets but also the craft in modern software. Lin received her Bachelor's in Econ, Comp Sci, and Math at NYU Stern.
