Corey Archard Joins the Humanizers Advisory Board

Building Trust and Transforming Leadership

Corey Archard, VP of Talent at Bumble, has joined the Humanizers Advisory Board, bringing a bold vision: making leadership development scalable yet deeply personal.

Passionate about democratising access to coaching for everyone, Corey views Humani as the platform to make this vision a reality. “Being at the front of something genuinely different, something that hasn’t been done before, is an opportunity I am very excited for,” Corey shares.

Corey identifies trust as a critical challenge in today’s workplaces, particularly in fast-changing environments marked by redundancies and restructurings. He believes that “trust isn’t built in moments of celebration; it’s built in moments of challenge.” Humani, he notes, empowers leaders to foster trust by helping them connect personally with their teams, building relationships grounded in empathy, presence, and growth-oriented feedback. “Trust builds culture,” he states, stressing that a foundation of trust is essential to people-first organisations.

Reflecting on his own leadership journey, Corey emphasises that “an infallible leader is a myth; it only holds organisations back.” He advocates for humility, encouraging leaders to admit when they don’t have all the answers. In Corey’s view, organisations excel when leaders truly listen, engage with curiosity, and openly support their teams by acknowledging both what they know and what they don’t.

Corey also sees technology as an ally in building strong interpersonal connections. “Technology should enhance, not replace, human connection,” he notes, explaining that, when used thoughtfully, tech can streamline tasks and free leaders to engage meaningfully with their teams. For him, it’s about using technology to amplify personal coaching’s impact across organisations—not adding tech for tech’s sake.

Technology should enhance, not replace, human connection.
