With director-level communications experience, Janine Jacobs, co-founder of HappyHQ, has worked with global brands such as LinkedIn, Hilton, and PepsiCo. Her career has spanned various countries and cultures, involving both agency and client-side roles. Driven by a passion for understanding people, she studied at The School of Positive Psychology in 2017, where she now applies the science of human flourishing to the benefit of individuals and companies. Janine is also a Girls’ Network mentor, helping teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds see their futures in a more positive light, gain essential skills, and build confidence.

Louisa, founder of I Love My Job, a values-led, B Corp recruitment agency, launched the company 13 years ago with a simple mission: to find people jobs they love. This has led her to help 100’s of companies grow by finding them people who love what they do. To support this further she co-founded HappyHQ, the people-first company culture consultancy in 2010, to help companies create cultures that people run to, not away from.
