Big news 🚨 Miguel Andres has officially joined Oliva as CPTO & Co-founder 🎉 We’ve always been big believers that technology can make mental healthcare: - More accessible - More impactful - More hassle-free for professionals & therapists Miguel thinks so too. He’s been advising us on fancy tech-related challenges since the early days of Oliva. We’re delighted that Miguel has now joined the team full-time.

It’s exciting stuff 🙌 Here’s a few words from Miguel: “Experiencing the loss of a loved one to depression at a very early age left a profound mark on me." "So being able to leverage my experience in technology to help people navigate life’s ups and downs feels like a deeply personal and meaningful mission." With his incredible track record leading tech teams at top companies like Google and Badi, we can’t wait for Miguel to get stuck in 💪 #mentalhealthatwork

Hetero folks often think ‘coming out’ is a grand, once-in-a-lifetime event But it’s actually a never ending process. Work is a prime example: When do you come out? How do you come out? Do you come out at all? How will they react? Will people treat you differently? Depending on the workplace, revealing this key part of your identity to brand new colleagues can feel natural, awkward, or even a bit terrifying. So how do we create inclusive environments where everyone has the psychological safety to openly be themselves? Join us for a Pride Month Tough Conversations Live event featuring a range of perspectives from the LGBTQ+ community on this topic. We'll be discussing how companies, managers, and colleagues can better facilitate and respond to people coming out at work. See you there 🏳️🌈 #pridemonth #DEI
