Team

Harrison Kennedy

CEO and Co-Founder

I’m Harrison, founder of ReFresh, an emotional detection system for work.

We help companies spot burnout and disengagement early by analyzing behavioral patterns and turning them into real-time emotional insights. Fully automated and running in the background, ReFresh shows leaders how their teams are actually doing before it affects performance or retention.

I didn’t come from HR. I came from fashion and the creative industries, where burnout was constant and wellness felt like a PR move. A few years ago I started building a mental health platform from my garage. It reached millions by opening up honest conversations about how we really feel, especially at work.

What became clear is this: most companies don’t recognise burnout until it’s too late.

That’s why I started ReFresh. The worlds smartest and fastest emotional intelligence system built alongside the worlds top Neuroscientists and mental health professors. Because emotions drive teams, and if you can’t detect how people are feeling, you can’t lead them.
