Remote work beyond covid: Tigerhall's story

Nellie Wartoft is a Swedish technology entrepreneur who launched Tigerhall in 2019, revolutionizing how professionals learn from one another in the real world. Under her leadership, Tigerhall has quickly gained traction with global Fortune 500 firms and today has users across 32 countries, and employees in 12 markets. Nellie has raised over $10 million in venture capital from visionary investors including Sequoia Capital and Monk's Hill Ventures, and Tigerhall's customers include well-known enterprises in technology, consumer goods, professional services, and financial services.

Prior to founding Tigerhall, Nellie was a top biller at Michael Page, where she led the Sales & Marketing practice and saw firsthand the issues in talent engagement and change management, and how the technology used in knowledge sharing, communications and learning led to employee dissatisfaction and disengagement. Her experience led her to launch Tigerhall, which bridges the gap by providing real-world advice from aspirational industry experts and internal peers, or Thinkfluencers, delivered in ways that leverage common user behaviors familiar to people from their favorite social apps.

Nellie has been named on the 2021 Gen T list of Leaders of Tomorrow by Tatler Magazine and was recognized as one of the Top Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2023 by the International Business Times. She was also a Swedish National Champion in skeet shooting and air rifle in her teenage years.

Nellie is an accomplished speaker and regularly presents at large events and global forums such as the Global CLO Exchange, TEDx events, HRTech Asia, SMF, and several CHRO Summits across the United States. She currently serves as a non-executive director on the boards of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Singapore and the SGTech Digital Transformation Chapter - the largest industry association for technology companies in Singapore.

Nellie has always been a huge advocate of social mobility across the world. This advocacy is rooted in her strong belief in meritocracy and that everyone should have the opportunity to reach their life goals and become successful at what they do, regardless of their background or circumstances. As she always says, "Where you come from should never, ever, get in the way of where you want to go."

She has lived and worked in Singapore, London, Seoul and Los Angeles.
