Charlotte Dales
CEO & FOUNDER, Inclusively
Charlotte Dales is the founder and CEO of Inclusively. After working for five years at Deutsche Bank, Charlotte co-founded CAKE Technologies, a mobile payment app that was acquired by American Express in 2017.
In 2020, she launched Inclusively, a technology platform that transforms the way large enterprises accommodate candidates and employees with disabilities, mental health challenges, and chronic illnesses. She was inspired by her cousin, Cameron Northup, who became the first licensed aesthetician in Florida with Down syndrome. Upon getting her first facial from Cameron, she saw how easy (and free!) it was for Cameron's employer to make some slight adjustments to her working environment and the incredible impact it had on her career. She wanted to figure out how to use technology to enable employers to address the individual needs of their prospective candidates and employees at scale. Inclusively has established partnerships with several Fortune 500 companies including Apple, Delta, Accenture, Charles Schwab, and Pfizer, and placed candidates across the US. Charlotte graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband, daughter, and son.
