Ensuring Yubo's growth is not just a corporate goal; it's a commitment to Yubo’s team members and the vast community of users. Mc places a premium on creating a healthier and safer workspace, recognizing that a secure and supportive environment is the foundation of our success.

Yubo's fundamental ethos revolves around building a Social Discovery platform rooted in safety. For Mc, this philosophy extends beyond user interactions; it's about fostering a safe workspace internally. Trust, shared values, and commitment are fundamental pillars of creating a culture where everyone feels secure and empowered.

Mc believes in recruiting based on skill set, mindset, and expectations rather than geographical location. The result? A diverse and powerful team unified by shared values and seamless collaboration.

At Yubo, we are a team of doers who can elevate ideas, lead projects, and fuel innovation. Mc's leadership encourages a dynamic and forward-thinking atmosphere where each team member is empowered to contribute meaningfully to the company's growth journey.


Mc's work reflects a commitment to fostering a safe, empowering, and inclusive workplace culture. Yubo prioritizes the well-being of its employees, creating a positive and unique work experience for all. 

The partnership between Yubo and moka.care is aimed at promoting well-being within the company, with a focus on safety, mental health, and creating a positive and unique work experience for each employee.  Within this collaboration, the objectives are clearly defined, aiming to provide access to self-care tools such as meditation and heart coherence for all employees, regardless of their location around the world. Additionally, the company aims to take care of its remote teams, acknowledging the specific challenges associated with remote work. Another key aspect of the initiative is the training of "Wellness Committee" members as mental health ambassadors. These ambassadors are now equipped to address the needs of employees going through difficult times and co-facilitate collective sessions in collaboration with Moka.care practitioners.

In conclusion, Mc's role as the Head of People and Culture underscores the company's dedication to individual growth, collective success, and a dynamic future in the realm of Social Discovery.
