About Us

BienEQ was built by people who've lived inside the problem. We've led organizations, scaled platforms, and designed products — and we've watched talented teams underperform, not because of strategy or skill, but because of how they communicated and interacted with each other.

Stephanie Tate

Co-Founder & CEO

Former CPO with 20+ years across startups and organizations like Yahoo and Yummly. A trained contemplative educator who integrates neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and organizational psychology into frameworks that work at scale. Stephanie got the idea for BienEQ because she watched talented and smart teams struggle over preventable breakdowns.

Mickey Stretton

Co-Founder & CPO

Founder of DesignPush and UpVersion Consulting, former VP of Design at Yummly, and co-founder of AllofUs — a UK design consultancy acquired by InterPublic Group. Mickey is a recognized innovator in human-centred design and design systems, now applying that expertise to the AI frontier. He ensures BienEQ doesn't just work brilliantly, but is human-first by design.

Former CEO and CTO of a FinTech startup, with a successful exit and deep roots in large-scale data infrastructure, AI/ML, and the fintech and adtech ecosystems. Mitchell is the architect behind BienEQ's platform — the person who takes the science and makes it real, scalable, and fast.
