Rowan Mulligan

I’m a General Manager and People Operations Manager with a strong background in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, passionate about building thriving workplaces where people and businesses grow together. I specialize in creating high-performing teams, implementing practical solutions, and fostering cultures of mindfulness, innovation, and collaboration.

At an international EdTech startup, I’ve had the opportunity to develop and maintain systems and processes that truly make a difference for employees, including:

*A talent management system to streamline growth and development.
*Performance appraisal systems that focus on employee success and alignment.
*Recruitment and selection processes to attract top talent globally.
*Onboarding and offboarding procedures to ensure smooth transitions.
*Time-off policies that promote balance and flexibility.
*International training programs to support skill-building and teamwork.
*A “special day” calendar to boost engagement and celebrate milestones.

I earned my Master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Universitat de València (Spain) and Università di Bologna (Italy), and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Leadership Studies from Claremont McKenna College (USA). With this global education and practical experience, I focus on bringing research-backed strategies into everyday workplace practices.

I’m particularly interested in leadership and mindfulness—how they intersect with innovation to create meaningful, lasting impact. I believe in the power of authentic leadership and socially responsible practices to drive both individual and organizational success.

If you’re passionate about creating better workplaces—or just want to connect—I’d love to hear from you!
