WhiteHat’s co-founders on using tech to democratise the world of work

I spoke to Euan Blair (co-founder and CEO) and Sophie Adelman (co-founder and general manager) about WhiteHat, a startup which leverages tech to democratise access to the best careers.

Tell me about your background. What were you doing before WhiteHat?

Sophie: Before WhiteHat I was EMEA GM & Head of Sales for a US tech startup in the recruitment space called Hired.com. I joined Hired as their first international employee and grew the business across the UK and France.  

Euan: I was the UK CEO of a global welfare to work organisation, specialising in helping long-term unemployed people find work and training opportunities.

If you weren’t running WhiteHat, what would you be doing?

Sophie: I love working in people-focused tech businesses but I’d definitely still be running my own business – I’ve caught the entrepreneurship bug!...
