Leadership History
0 leaders · Full leadership timeline
Lattice is widely recognized across the global technology and corporate leadership landscape as the pioneer of modern, employee-centric people management. Founded in 2015 by Jack Altman (an entrepreneur and brother of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman) and Eric Koslow, Lattice set out to fix an institution that was universally hated across corporate America: the annual performance review. For decades, companies spent millions of dollars on bureaucratic once-a-year review cycles that demoralized employees, consumed thousands of manager hours, and provided zero actionable guidance for career growth. Altman and Koslow realized that high-performing technology companies did not need once-a-year paperwork; they needed continuous, lightweight feedback loops that aligned individual employee aspirations with organizational strategy. Starting with an intuitive goal-tracking tool, Lattice systematically expanded into performance reviews, 1-on-1 meeting agendas, employee engagement surveys, compensation modeling, and a full cloud-native HRIS. Today, Lattice serves over 5,000 corporate clients, defining the gold standard for how modern organizations attract, develop, and retain world-class talent. Today, Lattice stands as one of the most culturally revered and financially sound enterprise software companies in the world. By proving that human empathy, transparent leadership, and rigorous performance management can be united into an elegant digital platform, Lattice has established an enduring legacy in the evolution of modern organizational leadership.
Lattice operates a modular B2B SaaS subscription model billed per employee per month (PEPM): Core Performance Management starting at $11/user/month; Engagement Surveys add-on at $4/user/month; Grow career development add-on at $4/user/month; Compensation Management add-on at $6/user/month; and the complete Lattice HRIS enterprise platform with custom annual licensing, dedicated implementation consultants, and enterprise SSO governance.
Lattice faces intense competition from legacy HR conglomerates (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors) and modern HR tech peers (Culture Amp, 15Five, BambooHR, Rippling), while managing the organizational transition from performance management software into a full-scale transactional core HRIS.
Beyond competitive pressures from legacy HCM incumbents like Workday, Lattice must continue to navigate the organizational transition into a full-scale transactional core HRIS, ensuring that its software maintains its signature consumer-grade elegance while managing complex, multi-national payroll and benefits integrations.
Sarah Franklin currently leads Lattice, overseeing strategic vision, balance sheet health, and organizational execution in HR Tech, People Management, Performance Management, Employee Engagement, Compensation & Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS).
Under executive direction, Lattice is prioritizing workflow automation alongside disciplined capital allocation to maximize shareholder value.
Leadership at Lattice has historically navigated industry cycles by restructuring operational priorities and expanding competitive moats.
