OUR MISSION
Remove the guesswork from talent decisions
At Sigma Squared, we combine econometrics and technology to revolutionize the way organizations optimize their workforce.
Founding Story
Sigma Squared was founded in 2020 by Roland Fryer and Tanaya Devi in the wake of social protests. As organizations reaffirmed their commitment to inclusive practices, it was clear that they wanted to do better - but weren’t sure where to start.
Together, Roland and Tanaya translated what social scientists know about bias in the workplace into a set of mathematical frameworks. Combining these with applied econometrics and machine learning, they launched the first version of the Sigma Squared software with a set of global customers.
As they partnered with business leaders, Roland and Tanaya identified a need to apply similar research-backed solutions to a wide range of people-related challenges. And they expanded the platform into the talent optimization suite that it is today.
OUR NAME
"Sigma squared" is the statistical term for variance
When organizations optimize for variance or diversity of experiences and skills across their workforce, they thrive.
