    CEO at Wagmo, Inc.

    This past Thursday, I experienced something every pet parent dreads. My partner wasn’t home, so our dog Aspen and I were on our own. Around one in the morning, I noticed Aspen was having trouble breathing and acting strange. I’ll spare LinkedIn the video, but suffice to say it was terrifying. In a panic, I called the ER vet, but the video file I tried to send through was too large, and I got nowhere. So I turned to VETalk, Wagmo’s 24/7 virtual pet care service. Despite the early hour, I got an instant response and in under five minutes confirmed that an ER visit was urgently needed. I didn’t think twice about admitting her: I have Wagmo Insurance, so I was covered. Poor Aspen had a severe case of kennel cough, a high fever, and an elevated respiratory rate. Fortunately, they were able to catch and treat it before it developed into pneumonia. After a night of fluids and antibiotics, Aspen was feeling much better. The cost of the ER visit? $3K. My cost? $30 for our Uber ride to the ER. That’s it. Emergencies like this are exactly why I believe every pet parent needs insurance. You shouldn’t have to choose between your pet’s safety and your financial stability. And it’s why I am so proud to have founded Wagmo: to give pet parents peace of mind in moments of crisis and in everyday care. As for Aspen, don’t worry, folks. She’s back to her usual sassy self. #petinsurance #petbenefits #employeebenefits

    See how Leo is sitting in this teeny dog bed? Very demure, very cutesy. We almost didn’t notice he doesn’t quite fit. 🐾😂 At Wagmo we’re not like other pet benefits that limit your access based on pre-existing conditions, breeds, or size — that’s not demure. Our approach to pet care is very mindful—tailored to the unique needs of every pet. #Officepup #Demure #VeryMindful #PetWellness

    At our recent Transform Executive Dinner, hosted in partnership with Wagmo, we enjoyed authentic conversations about building a strong, connected culture. We kicked off the evening by sharing favorite pet stories (who knew a squirrel could be a pet!), setting the tone for memorable connections. A few highlights: 💡 Humanize your leaders and take them out of their perceived box. Consider nonbusiness-related fireside chats, coffee breaks, and town halls with open Q&A with the Executive Team. 💡 Engage with employees to understand their journey and ensure their voices are heard during any company values reimagination. 💡 Skills and project marketplaces can be powerful ways to drive engagement at all levels of the organization. 💡 It will require mental gymnastics in managing company culture initiatives across diverse exempt vs non-exempt workforces. 💡 Transforming ERGs to BRGs can drive meaningful outcomes. A great evening to remember. We look forward to facilitating more memorable events for our community! #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #CompanyCulture #ExecutiveLeadership #BusinessInnovation
