Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGloria Folaron is a product founder and head of product who blends six years of tech leadership with a deep clinical background, designing productivity tools that center neurodivergent users. She led Leantime from 0-1—creating a provisional-patent vision, launching AI-powered features, and driving a plugin marketplace that now contributes over 60% of revenue. Her work in SEO, community growth, and content strategy has scaled organic traffic and audience reach dramatically (e.g., LinkedIn from 300 to 4,500+ and multi-hundred percent traffic gains). Prior roles span leading 40+ cross-functional teams, e-commerce product management with high-seven-figure sales, and founding early telemedicine and agritourism ventures, showing a knack for turning human-centered insight into commercial results. Gloria’s academic focus on industrial/organizational psychology and neurodivergent motivation uniquely informs her universal-design approach and ethical AI integration. She asks not just “can we build it?” but “how does this improve someone’s lived experience?”
