Platypus was founded in February 2019 by Nico Blier-Silvestri (Revolut’s previous Chief People Officer) and Daniel Bowen (talent and recruitment specialist). Its mission is to help companies discover what their employees value at every stage of the talent lifecycle, from attraction, to management, to retention. Within 10 months of its launch, the company is already working with multiple customers across several markets, including Denmark, Latvia, Singapore, Sweden, the UK and the US, to minimise staff turnover and all the associated costs.
