VP, Strategic Accounts

About Journey

Journey is redefining mental health care for modern companies. Our mission is to help all people live happier, healthier, less stressed lives. Traditional EAPs are reactive. Digital EAPs improved access, but still wait until someone is in crisis. Journey takes a proactive approach, engaging employees earlier and helping them build healthier habits before they reach a crisis point.

We are a rapidly growing tech startup, and we work with care and intention to create a high-performance company. We recently raised our Series A and are entering a focused growth phase.
