Founders - Simon Bernardino & Nick Ingall

Over the years, sometimes together, the Lab17 founders Nick Ingall and Simon Bernardino worked at companies like Spotify, Atlassian, and SafetyCulture; building and developing their teams during some serious periods of growth. 

They emerged (slightly battle scarred), wondering how they could break the mould of the traditional recruitment mindset; a solution to overcome the challenges they faced during their hard yards. 

Enter, The Lab17!


Over a few years we’ve hit the ground running. We’re a team of 20 Talent, People and Employee Experience experts (the Labonauts), who grow and develop teams for the likes of Linktree, Skedulo and InDebted on a global scale. 

We apply a product lens to how we think and work; we validate, iterate and use data to measure success. The Labonauts foster a high performance and growth culture through goal setting, reflection, coaching and learning. Being human is at the forefront of everything we do - we’re dealing with people, people!

Meet our awesome team!

We're a team of A players, each one of us passionate about building a unique and tailored journey for high growth tech companies.
