About Heardsafe

We build the infrastructure that lets organizations hear what is actually happening inside them — and lets the people who speak up do so safely.

Why we exist

Most workplace problems are known long before they become incidents. Someone noticed. Someone mentioned it. It did not reach anyone with the authority or the information to act, or it reached them too late and too vaguely to be actionable.

That failure is expensive in both directions. Employees carry concerns they cannot safely raise. Boards and executives carry accountability for conduct they had no reliable way to see. Courts have grown steadily less sympathetic to the argument that leadership simply did not know.

Heardsafe exists to close that gap: a confidential, structured way for people to document what happened, and a governance layer that turns those signals into something leadership can act on and evidence.

What we believe

The person reporting comes first

Someone documenting harassment is taking a risk. Anything that increases that risk — visible accounts, employer-side access, careless data handling — is a product failure, not a tradeoff.

Be explicit about incentives

We earn revenue from subscriptions and from attorney referrals. We say so plainly, in the product and in our Privacy Policy, because people cannot consent to what they have not been told.

Documentation beats recollection

A contemporaneous, structured record made at the time is worth more than a memory reconstructed a year later. The product is built around that.

Governance is evidence

Boards are increasingly asked to demonstrate oversight, not assert it. Our job is to leave a defensible trail — see UK Provision 29.

The team

We are a small team, which is deliberate — a product that handles disclosures of harassment and misconduct should have a short line between the person who hears a problem and the person who can fix it.

Steve Hourigan

Chief Executive Officer

Steve leads Heardsafe's strategy and its relationships with the boards and executive teams that deploy it. He has spent his career building businesses at the intersection of governance, risk and operations, and started Heardsafe from a simple observation: the information leadership needs most is usually already inside the organization, just with no safe route to the surface.

Tim Harrison

Chief Technology Officer

Tim owns the platform end to end — the conversational capture layer, the signal analysis behind ClearView and BoardView, and the security model that protects what people tell us. He is responsible for the engineering decisions that make confidentiality a property of the system rather than a promise in a policy.

Frank Leonard

Chief Commercial Officer

Frank owns Heardsafe's commercial strategy — revenue, partnerships and the attorney network that supports SafeVoice referrals. He works with organizations to turn a governance obligation on paper into something their people will actually use, and holds the line that the commercial model stays transparent to the people whose reports move through it.
