Ryan Fyfe, WorkChain.io CEO.
As we continue to build out our experienced and talented team, we’re excited to announce Ryan Fyfe, founder, former CEO and Chairman of Humanity.com, as the new CEO of WorkChain.io,
Ryan has spent the past decade as founder and CEO of Humanity.com, a market-leader in workforce time-management software.
During his ten years leading Humanity.com, Ryan bootstrapped the company to initial revenue before attracting $13 million in funding to grow the company to more than 150 staff globally and lead it to profitability.
The software he created at Humanity.com is now used by millions of employees across more than 40,000 organizations worldwide, including major companies like CNN, Safeway, Lyft and Nike.
Ryan’s addition is a huge boost for WorkChain.io. He brings a mountain of invaluable business and tech knowledge and experience having worked in Silicon Valley for ten years.
From Investor to Board Director to CEO
Ryan’s no stranger to WorkChain.io. He led the company’s $250,000 seed round of funding and was also a board director prior to becoming CEO.
Ryan takes on the CEO role from our current CEO and co-founder Ivan Petrovic, who will move into the COO role. Ryan is a long-time mentor and advisor of Ivan, the two having bonded over the HR and workforce startups they respectively founded.
“The idea for WorkChain.io originally came from first-hand experience with our companies Humanity.com and WorkPuls.com,” Ryan said.
“We’d seen how the companies and employees we worked with were weighed down by slow payroll cycles. For years we’ve been contemplating how to break this broken payroll cycle model and bring it in line with the real-time world in which we live today. And with the blockchain we finally have the technology to do it.”
While Humanity.com continues to experience strong growth, Ryan sees WorkChain.io as a new challenge. One that takes him back to the early growth stages in which he thrives.
“I’ve had an amazing ten years at Humanity. The leadership and company are set for the next decade of growth with a very exciting future,” Ryan said.
“Joining WorkChain.io is a return to my entrepreneurial roots. It’s an exciting opportunity to be part of a project alongside a world-class team that has the potential to completely change how the working world gets paid.”
An Insider in the Tech, HR, Workforce and Payroll Worlds
At Humanity.com, Ryan worked closely with the biggest names in the HR, workforce management and payroll industries.
He boasts direct, real-world understanding, insight and connections with the multibillion-dollar market WorkChain.io serves. Something that’s hugely important, Ivan says.
“We have a big focus on putting key people with extensive experience in important roles at the company. And few people know the HR, workforce and payroll industries as well as Ryan,” Ivan said.
“Ryan has shown his ability to grow and manage a team from the ground up. To turn a product plan into a sustainable multimillion dollar business. The same path WorkChain.io is on.
“Plus, the industry connections he brings will be vital to our rapid early growth. The first being an upcoming integration with Humanity.com. This integration will connect Humanity’s one million-plus users to the WorkChain.io network.”
Ivan sees Ryan’s decision to leave Humanity.com, as the company continues to grow and enjoy strong profitability, as real recognition of the future of blockchain technology.
“The fact that Ryan decided to leave Humanity.com, a market leader in the workforce management space, shows the belief he — and all of us at WorkChain.io — have in blockchain’s potential to change how the world works.”
At WorkChain.io, we know success doesn’t just come from the groundbreaking technology we’re building. It’s also the team behind it.
Ryan will lead a growing, experienced team of 20 staff at WorkChain.io, as we work on forever changing the way the world gets paid.
Welcome aboard, Ryan!
