What does it really take to build scalable, high-performing teams—without relying on guesswork? In this episode of Extraordinary Pursuits, Noelle London, founder and CEO of Illoominus, explains how data-driven decision-making is transforming HR from a reactive function to a strategic advantage. From her entrepreneurial journey through Peace Corps, economic development, and Accenture Ventures, Noelle shares why she launched Illoominus and how the platform equips mid-market companies to use workforce data with the same precision as enterprise giants.

You’ll learn why companies need to treat people data and analytics as a core KPI, how to avoid overcomplicating your HR tech stack, and how Illoominus is building a community-led platform to scale best practices across companies. Whether you're a founder, operator, or people leader, this conversation will help you understand how to move from static reports to real-time insights—and why that shift could be your key to growth.
