About - The Humi Story, Our Values, and Our Investors

This is Humi.

Refusing to accept the status quo of managing people operations using spreadsheets or clunky HRIS platforms, we saw the need to revolutionize the HR industry. So, we built a solution that is supportive, uncomplicated, and most importantly, people-focused. We’re building a company that believes people perform better when they’re happier, and we’re empowering our clients to do the same.

Humi was founded in 2016 and started as a simple cloud-based web app that stored employee data. Five years later, thanks to the tremendous support from customers and investors, we became the leading all-in-one HR solution for Canadian businesses by supporting them in three other key areas – employee benefits, business insurance, and payroll.

We believe companies have the responsibility to take good care of their people. That’s why we exist. We exist to make the lives of businesses and their employees easier, so they can take good care of one another.

Simon Bourgeois

Co-founder

Give it up for our CEO! After spending years working at an investment bank in the midst of the last financial crisis, Simon shifted into tech in 2012 to found OneLocal before co-founding Humi in 2016. Through both businesses, Simon has focused on everything from sales to finance, and spends his time navigating changes and challenges that support the growth of Humi.

Drew Millington

Co-founder

Let's hear it for our CCO! Many call him a sales king – Drew is the bread and butter of Humi’s sales strategy. Drew has now turned his efforts to elevating other key departments including our customer experience, marketing, sales, benefits, and insurance teams. When he’s not getting companies through the door at Humi, you can find Drew spending time reading about HR, people, and strategy.

Kevin Kliman

Co-founder

Former dentist turned startup powerhouse, this pres’ journey into tech looked a little different than others. Between co-founding Instaradio in 2012 to helping create Humi in 2015, Kevin worked as a dentist for one day a week into the first six months of Humi’s company history. When he’s not overseeing, Kevin loves spending time thinking about the future of work.

Matt Loszak

Co-founder

All things tech-whiz, Matt loves to build. From co-founding JamCam, the app that would pave the way for the social media giant TikTok in 2013, to building Humi’s very first version, Matt is constantly working to create solutions through tech.
