Pebl and Bay FC team up to show how great teams are built. Multi-year partnership unites two Bay Area organizations that believe great teams start with finding the best talent, wherever it is. PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Pebl, the AI-first global employment platform, today announced a multi-year partnership with Bay FC, the Bay Area's professional women's soccer team. The partnership is grounded in a shared belief: geography should never limit where talent is found or how great teams are built. "Bay FC's players and staff bring together talent, experiences and perspectives from around the world, making Pebl a natural partner for our club," said Bay FC President Bernard Gutmann. "Together we will create new experiences that bring fans, business leaders and our broader community closer to the club." "Football makes a simple truth visible: you don't build a winning team by limiting where you look for talent," said Françoise Brougher, CEO of Pebl. "That same idea drives Pebl every day. We help companies find, hire and support the right people, wherever they are. Bay FC brings that belief to life every time it takes the pitch." Pebl and Bay FC will introduce new content, fan experiences and community activations throughout the partnership. Additional details will be announced in the coming months.

Pebl reshapes leadership team for next stage of growth. Former Remote executive Patrick McKelvie joins Pebl as CRO amid broader leadership realignment across revenue, operations, and people. As demand grows for faster, more flexible global hiring solutions, Pebl, the AI-first global employment platform, is evolving its leadership structure to create tighter alignment across revenue, operations, legal, and people teams. As part of the transition, Pebl Founder Ben Wright will step away from day-to-day operational responsibilities at the end of May and return full-time to his role as Chairman, where he will remain actively involved in the company's long-term strategy and growth. Wright returned to Pebl in 2025 to help guide a critical transformation period across the business and Go-to-Market organization. During that time, he helped strengthen the company's revenue organization, sharpen execution following a rebrand, and support the recruitment of Pebl's next generation of leadership. The company entered 2026 with strong momentum, delivering 40% growth during the first quarter. "Ben stepped back into the business at an important moment for Pebl and helped bring focus, structure, and momentum across the organization," said Pebl CEO Francoise Brougher. "His leadership helped strengthen our go-to-market organization, recruit exceptional leaders, and position the company for its next stage of growth. We're grateful for his partnership and excited to build on that foundation as we enter this next chapter." Pebl also announced the appointment of Patrick McKelvie as Chief Revenue Officer. McKelvie, who previously held senior leadership roles at Remote, will lead the company's Sales and Partnerships organization as Pebl continues building a more disciplined and integrated Go-to-Market organization. McKelvie's appointment underscores Pebl's growing momentum and its ability to attract experienced leadership from across the global HR and technology market. "What stood out to me about Pebl is that the company understands where the global hiring market is headed and what employers need next," said Patrick McKelvie. "There's a strong foundation here and a real opportunity to help drive the next chapter of the category." The company also announced that Dutta Satadip is expanding his responsibilities and will take on the role of Chief Business Officer, bringing Operations and Go-to-Market functions closer together under a more unified structure built around the full customer lifecycle. In addition, Shawn McIntire will assume the expanded role of Chief Legal and People Officer, aligning legal, compliance, and people operations as Pebl continues to expand its global employment platform. The leadership changes come as companies increasingly look for faster, more technology-driven ways to hire, manage, and support talent across borders.
