The team behind Mak
-
Careen Matthews - Cofounder/CEO
I’ve spent 20+ years helping businesses big and small get HR right. From mergers and IPOs to funding rounds, I’ve seen how messy people challenges can get if culture isn’t looked after. My focus has always been the same: build workplaces where people thrive and leaders feel confident.

Annie Johnson - Cofounder/CPO
I’ve spent 20+ years in HR and running SMEs, so I know the grind first-hand. The late nights, the compliance stress, the never-ending admin. That’s why we built Mak. Creating a solution to take the weight off leaders and give them confidence with their people, cut out the busywork, and keep businesses safe.

Kimberly Burns - Cofounder/COO
I’ve spent 20+ years HR leading teams across not-for-profit, education, hospitality, and tech. I know how tough it is to keep people and compliance on track while running a business. My work has always been about making HR simpler and more human, even through big changes like mergers or rapid growth.
