Logan Sugarman is a proven entrepreneur, investor, and builder, best known as the Founder and CEO of Refresh. This HR technology platform redefines how modern organizations support and engage their employees. With over two decades of experience across Wall Street, climate technology, and enterprise software, he has built companies that merge data, logistics, and human behavior to create efficient and lasting solutions. Founded in 2007, Refresh is a customizable all-in-one SuperApp that integrates every tool, benefit, and communication channel used by global workforces, particularly those in frontline and deskless roles. The platform personalizes each employee’s experience based on role, employment type, and location, ensuring meaningful access to resources. In most large organizations, hundreds of tools are deployed, with HR teams adding several new ones each month. This complexity incurs over $100 billion in management costs, deprives employees of $400 billion in value, and results in vendors losing $50 billion in potential revenue. Under his leadership, Refresh has become a trusted partner for Fortune 500 companies, major unions, and nonprofit organizations, offering over 3,000 integrations across HR, payroll, and learning systems. In 2025, SHRM selected Refresh as one of three companies out of more than 500 applicants for its Accelerator Program and made a strategic investment, recognizing the platform’s contribution to employee engagement and workplace wellness. The company has also received recognition from Accenture’s Global HR Technology Challenge and has developed partnerships with HUB International and UKG. He also co-founded Triangle Digital, Inc., a company that connects big data with financial assets to drive climate resilience. The company received Environmental Finance’s 2025 Innovation of the Year in Carbon Markets and recognition from Brazil’s Central Bank for its Blended Finance solution. As Co-Founder and CIO of Balcony Partners, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm managing $100 million, he oversees strategies focused on quantitative models and clean energy investments. He also sponsors two Nasdaq-listed SPACs, GSR III and GSR IV. An active early-stage investor with more than 100 angel investments, he also advises several startups. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University with degrees in Economics and Psychology, he has been a CFA Charter Holder since 2004. Originally from Minnesota, Logan Sugarman now lives in New York with his wife and daughter, continuing to build ventures that inspire innovation and advance progress.
