Funnel Leasing, the only Renter Management Software platform, today announced the hiring of veteran human resources and non-profit leader, Tanya Gibson as Chief People Officer (CPO). As CPO, Tanya will engrain not only Funnel’s P.I.N.K. core values into everything Funnel does, but the mission of their industry-first 501(c)(3) H.O.M.E., Housing Opportunities Made Equal, as well. Funnel created H.O.M.E. to advance their commitment of building responsible technology and supporting causes that provide marginalized renters with access to safe and healthy housing. Gibson is a recent Global Impact Award for Equity in the Workplace winner, and joins Funnel from Big Brothers Big Sisters of America where she most recently served as VP of Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (JEDI) and HR.

“I am confident that Tanya’s vast experience will help Funnel continue to grow its culture and our organization as a model that meets the needs of each of its employees,” said Tyler Christiansen, CEO of Funnel. “Her deep experience with non-profits will help embed H.O.M.E. into our company culture and its impact on those we’ll help, as we launch our online leasing platform to the world.”

Gibson is a champion of inclusive conversations to understand what matters most for Funnel team members, clients, and communities. She will lead Funnel’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) work, as well as build strategies, resources, and scalable processes that celebrate and affirm the uniqueness of Funnel’s diverse workforce.

“DEIB is immensely important to me and how I plan to lead,” said Gibson, Funnel CPO. “By fulfilling these elements, I know that we are partners in creating a sense of belonging for all who interact with Funnel and the products, services, and resources we provide. I have the added bonus of getting to perform all of these actions with an incredible team, who also believe in strong people operations to support these efforts that positively model Funnel’s DEIB ethos.”

About Funnel Leasing

Funnel exists so multifamily operators don’t have to pick between antiquated monopolies or single solution challengers. After decades of the status quo, operators are no more efficient, and renters still dread the process of leasing an apartment. We fixed that with a platform that turns the entire business model on its head. Renter Management Software is a new category of connected tools built around the renter. The software delivers a consistent, connected experience from first inquiry through years of renewals. All this while simultaneously saving operators quantifiable money through the smaller, and happier teams that only a renter-centric platform can enable.

About H.O.M.E. (Housing Opportunities Made Equal)

Funnel is dedicated to fair housing for all. We created H.O.M.E. to advance our commitment of building responsible technology and supporting causes that provide marginalized renters with access to safe and healthy housing. Through our actions, we strive to identify and combat the systemic oppression prevalent throughout the leasing process that results in limited housing access for individuals of color and other marginalized home seekers. Every online application completed through our platform generates a $1 donation on behalf of H.O.M.E. that is used toward ending housing discrimination and increasing economic opportunity through housing.
