Glenn Elliott

A software engineer by training, MBA drop out turned serial entrepreneur.​After a series of failed businesses, I founded Reward Gateway back in 2006 with a radical new approach to employee perks and benefits. With a brand new model, everyone said we'd be bust within a year. But companies and people loved what we did.​Building RG into a nearly $500m revenue business I've learned a huge amount about leadership, company culture and how to create an environment where people can do their best work. I've spent the last 10 years working with some of the most amazing companies on their people strategy and I've learned that to succeed in engaging your people you really need to rebel against the status quo and treat people differently.For the last two years, I've worked with the wonderful Debra Corey to document the stories of true HR and leadership rebels and compile their secrets into Build It : The Rebel Playbook for Employee Engagement. The book uses our model, The Engagement Bridge to structure their stories and is aimed at CEO's, entrepreneurs, HR people, managers and leaders - anyone who needs to impact business performance by getting the best out of their people.
