Gloria Folaron
CEO, Leantime
Gloria Folaron is an ER nurse turned startup product manager. Her experience in healthcare gives her a systems and process oriented mindset that couples with a passion and empathy for helping people reach their potential. She has combined her passions with her digital product background to bring a holistic approach to project management with Leantime.
Having been diagnosed late in life with ADHD 2.5 years ago and with her 8 year old recently diagnosed as Autistic and ADHD, she realized that business software has been missing the cognitive accessibility necessary to create an inclusive and people focused environment for those with conditions like ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism -- when, from experience, getting the information to be successful at work is only getting harder.
