Our Team
Kate knows firsthand what it feels like to be alone and vulnerable at work. For years she closed a retail shop by herself — walking to her car in the dark, hoping every night would be uneventful. That quiet fear never left her. When she couldn't find a personal safety device built for situations like hers — not a medical alert, not a phone app, but something truly instant — she decided to build it herself. PanicTap is the product Kate wished she'd had, and her mission is simple: no one should have to feel unsafe just because they work alone.
Valerie has spent her career building software that people actually want to use. She believes that in a true emergency, technology should get out of the way — which is exactly what drew her to PanicTap. Val leads product development with a relentless focus on simplicity and reliability, making sure that from first setup to the moment it matters most, the experience is seamless. If something takes more than one tap, she wants to know why.
Before joining PanicTap, Gloria spent years as a dental assistant — which means she is professionally trained to keep a smile on her face and stay calm while people are deeply uncomfortable. That experience turned out to be excellent preparation for customer success. Gloria is the person who makes sure every PanicTap customer feels supported from day one, and she brings the same warmth and patience to a billing question as she did to someone in the chair who really didn't want to be there.
