#106 - Interview with Jennifer Thamm - Founder and CEO of SaysLife

In this episode of CapricornConnect, we sit down with Jennifer Thamm, Founder & CEO of SaysLife, to explore one of the most overlooked risks in modern organizations: people risk.

With over 20 years of experience at global firms like Zurich Insurance, UBS, and Thomson Reuters, Jennifer brings a unique perspective at the intersection of risk management, digital transformation, and ethical governance. Her mission is clear: help organizations build resilience by creating healthier, high-performing work environments.

We dive into the growing impact of mental health in the workplace, where over 80% of employees report challenges and stress-related issues cost companies more than $1 trillion annually. Jennifer shares why traditional well-being initiatives often fall short, and why companies need a more structured, data-driven approach.

You’ll learn how Says Life is tackling this problem with a privacy-first platform that empowers employees while giving leadership the insights they need to act, without creating fear, blame, or loss of trust.

We also discuss:

- Why leadership well-being is often ignored — and why that’s a critical mistake - The hidden cost of absenteeism and presenteeism - How to manage organizational risk without invading employee privacy - Why “not knowing” is no longer a valid strategy for leaders - The reality of loneliness at the top

This conversation is a must-listen for founders, executives, and anyone responsible for building resilient organizations in an increasingly complex world.
