Logan Sugarman Male • United States of America

Logan Sugarman is an accomplished entrepreneur, investor, and builder, best known as the Founder and CEO of Refresh. This HR technology platform redefines how organizations connect with and empower their employees. With over two decades of experience spanning Wall Street, climate technology, and enterprise software, he has focused on building companies that unite data, logistics, and human behavior to drive lasting impact.


Founded in 2007, Refresh is a customizable all-in-one SuperApp that integrates every tool, benefit, and communication system used by global workforces, with a particular focus on frontline and deskless employees. The platform personalizes each worker’s experience based on their role, employment type, and location, ensuring access to the most relevant resources. In today’s corporate environment, organizations often deploy hundreds of tools, with HR teams adding new ones each month—creating inefficiencies that cost over $100 billion in management time, deprive employees of $400 billion in value, and lead vendors to lose $50 billion in potential revenue. Under his leadership, Refresh has become a trusted partner to 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 from over 500 applicants for its Accelerator Program and made a strategic investment, recognizing the company’s innovation in employee engagement and workplace wellness. The platform has also earned recognition from Accenture’s Global HR Technology Challenge and established partnerships with HUB International and UKG.


He is also the Co-Founder of Triangle Digital, Inc., a company that connects big data with financial assets to support 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 in assets, he focuses on quantitative investment strategies and clean energy initiatives. He also sponsors two Nasdaq-listed SPACs, GSR III and GSR IV.


An active investor with over 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 drive innovation, empower people, and shape the future of work.
