Our vision is to establish the UAE as the ultimate hub of excellence in People Analytics.

We're on a mission to empower HR professionals to unlock the full potential of their organizations' most valuable asset: their people.

Our Founders

Meet David Van Lochem and Karen Bouez, both distinguished People Analytics Experts with diverse backgrounds spanning HR, consulting, technology, and data.

Frustrated by the lack of a dedicated community in the UAE, they took the initiative to create a vibrant network around People Analytics. Their goal? To fill the void and unite like-minded professionals in the region.
