about
i’m eva, co-founder and ceo of happybase. while working as a lawyer, i realized during my one-on-one meetings that conversations were always about performance and feedback, never about growth, ambitions or personal drivers. this one-sided approach led to frustration for both me and my colleagues. motivated to make a change, i started happybase—an online platform that sparks the right conversations between managers and employees. by focusing on individual aspirations and motivations, we aim to foster meaningful dialogues that cultivate deeper connections and promote growth within organizations. we believe that real growth starts with strong roots.
what advice would you give to your younger self?
always trust your gut feelings! if something feels right, go for it. don’t be afraid to take risks and make a move even before you feel completely ready
