Innovative Tools

Roger Lee, co-founder of Human Interest and Comprehensive, has been instrumental in transforming compensation management. Human Interest, a 401K provider for small to medium-sized businesses, reached unicorn status with a minority stake from BlackRock. Comprehensive, his latest venture, aims to move companies away from spreadsheets for compensation management, making the process more efficient and equitable 1.
