Founder Fridays: Designing Products That Scale with Giovanni Luperti, Co-founder & CEO of Humaans

Welcome to Founder Fridays - a Notion founder series - where we sit down with builders who’ve been in the trenches to talk shop - product, design, and the real lessons no one puts on a slide deck. Giovanni Luperti, Co-founder & CEO of Humaans, joins Notion’s Ghalia Alami, EMEA Startups Manager, to unpack how modern HR is being rebuilt for distributed, global teams. Drawing from a product-design background, Giovanni shares how AI should support (not replace) people teams, and why timeless design beats feature sprawl as companies grow.
