Episode description
No employee should have to choose between work and family.
Providing access to trusted care and earning a living rate for delivering that trusted care is a problem that needed solving.
Our guest, Anita Gardyne, is the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Onēva, a company she co-founded in 2014 to solve this problem.
Onēva reimagines the career for caregivers while providing an enticing and essential employer-provided benefit to client employees.
Anita, a working mother and caregiver to her mom, faced her own frustrations in finding trusted care for her family through the existing marketplace.
Believing access to trusted care AND earning a living rate for delivering quality, professional care are human rights, she went to work.
Anita collaborated with Microsoft to build Onēva’s technology platform, welcoming them as the system’s first customer in 2016. Onēva now plays a critical role in providing access to safety compliant in-home care for businesses, customers and caregivers.
A technology business visionary, Anita is an award-winning Black businesswoman with a personal mission of extending women’s careers, closing the pay equity gap faster, and creating thousands of living wage jobs.
Prior to Onēva, Anita spent nearly 2 decades in leadership positions including her role as CFO at Quantum (Seagate), leading a disk drive business unit generating $3.5B in revenue.
Anita holds an MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and a BA in Economics and Economics in the Black Community from UC Berkeley.
