Ally Fekaiki is the CEO and Founder of Juno. The employee benefits space has been broken for a long time, with Covid and remote working the disconnect between what companies offer and what employees want has become apparent. Ally wanted to take a completely different approach to employee benefits. So rather than companies try and guess what their people want, employees have the power to decide what they need. With Juno, employees have a monthly allowance in the form of Juno points, which can be used at Juno’s marketplace that has thousands of premium products and services, from Barry’s Bootcamp to childcare to home laundry to healthy snacks – pretty much anything you could imagine. In this episode, Ally gives his frank views on why companies have been getting it wrong for so long, how Juno are fixing the problem and how to scale a remote company.
