Hone Acquires Enrich to Build the Next Generation of Leadership Development in the AI Era As AI reshapes how leaders operate, the deal expands Hone's reach into the executive tier, combining its AI-powered employee development platform with Enrich's real-time peer communities for senior technical leaders.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Hone, the leader in AI-powered people development, today announced it has acquired Enrich, a private network for senior product and engineering executives. With the addition of Enrich, Hone is building a more complete leadership offering that helps organizations develop managers at scale, while giving product and engineering executives access to high-caliber peer learning and real-time perspective.

As part of the acquisition, Enrich will be integrated into Hone. Its community and programming will continue to operate under the Hone umbrella, extending Hone's leadership platform with a premium executive community built for senior technical leaders.

As AI rapidly reshapes how organizations operate, leadership itself is becoming more complex, real-time, and difficult to navigate through traditional training alone. The pace, complexity, and ambiguity of AI-driven work are increasing the need for real-time conversations, applied judgment, and trusted peer perspective.

Enrich's community includes executives from top companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, PagerDuty, Klaviyo, and more. Through in-person events, virtual gatherings, and peer groups, Enrich has helped more than 1,000 leaders find community, navigate complex decisions, and improve performance.

"As a product leader at OpenAI, I'm constantly making hard decisions in a fast paced environment," said Jake Brill, Head of Product, Applied Foundations at OpenAI. "Enrich has been one of the only places where I can talk through those decisions with people who understand the context. That's incredibly rare."

"What makes Enrich different is the caliber of the people in the room," said Rukmini Reddy, Senior Vice President of Engineering at PagerDuty. "These are leaders from companies facing the same challenges, so the conversations are immediately relevant."

Hone's platform combines AI-powered coaching, live expert-led learning, and peer-based development to help organizations build stronger managers and leaders at scale. Customers use Hone to drive behavior change, propel AI transformation, and develop leadership across their organizations.

"This partnership brings together two companies with a shared belief that human connection and peer-to-peer learning drive stronger leadership outcomes," said Tom Griffiths, CEO of Hone. "The shifting technical landscape is changing leadership playbooks, and training alone is not enough. Leaders need real-time perspective, trusted peer connection, and the ability to navigate complex decisions with confidence. Enrich adds a high-caliber executive community to our platform and strengthens our ability to support leadership development from the manager level to the most senior technical leaders."

Together, Hone and Enrich create a more complete leadership development offering, combining live expert-led learning, AI-powered coaching, and high-caliber peer learning. As organizations rethink how they develop leaders in an AI-driven world, Hone sees an opportunity to expand the way leaders learn and grow through continuous, human-centered development.
