FOUNDER

Saravanan Chettiar

Saravanan Chettiar founded Strive to simplify the benefits experience for employees everywhere. With a background in benefits consulting and HR tech, Jordan saw the need for a platform that delivers clarity, confidence, and meaningful engagement year-round.

“Strive exists because employees deserve clarity. When people feel confident using their benefits, they make better decisions — and that improves their health, their families’ lives, and their future. That is why we built Strive.”

CEO

Julie Rieken

Julie Rieken is a seasoned SaaS and operations leader with deep experience scaling mission-driven companies. Julie guides Strive’s growth with a focus on product innovation, partner value, and creating a more supportive benefits experience for every employee.

“Strive is redefining what it means for employees to feel supported. We’re building tools that truly empower people — not just during open enrollment, but year-round. That kind of impact is rare, and it’s worth leading.”

STRATEGIC ADVISOR

Amanda Vaught

Amanda Vaught is an expert in digital health and organizational wellbeing. She advises Strive on product direction and engagement strategy, bringing insight from years of research on how people make decisions about their health and benefits.
