Summary
Will Hackett is a London-based software leader and serial founder with 11 years of experience building product-led engineering teams and infrastructure. As Co-founder & CTO of Flowstate he’s focused on real-time workforce modelling that stitches HR, payroll and finance data into a single decision-ready layer, solving the version-37 spreadsheet problem for engineering and finance leaders. His background spans founding and technical leadership roles across startups (including founding engineer and CTO positions at Blinq, Linktree, AutoGrab and earlier ventures), giving him both product intuition and hands-on delivery chops. Trained in computer science and commerce at QUT, he pairs technical depth with commercial fluency to bridge engineering and finance. A pragmatic builder, he favors shipping simple translation layers that remove friction and surface the right metrics rather than piling on complexity.
