Top SchoolAlberto Escarlate is a multi-time founder, CTO, and product executive with nine years of focused experience building and scaling mission-driven startups from founding to growth. He currently co-leads Tough Day as Co-Founder and CTO, creating tools that make managers and HR more effective by delivering confidential, expert employee support on demand.
