MEET JOE ALLRED

Founder, builder, and advocate for technology that connects.

I created ClarityBridge CX to help bridge the gap between systems and human connection. With 30+ years of experience across customer support, education, business development, and systems leadership, I've seen how tech can either isolate or empower.

Now, I'm building tools — like KindConnect and Navi — that bring compassion back into the way we work, support, and show up for one another.

🌿 The Story of Joe

I've spent over 30 years working across industries — from small-town pizza shops to tech leadership and community-driven entrepreneurship. If there's one thread that ties it all together, it's this: I believe work should feel human.

My first jobs were simple but meaningful — working at a gas station, keeping things moving as a lot attendant at a car dealership, and making pizzas alongside my high school friends. We laughed a lot. We supported each other. We played just as hard as we worked. That early sense of belonging stuck with me — and shaped the way I see the workplace even now. I believe we need to bring that kind of connection and joy back into our professional lives.

As I moved through my career — from business-to-business sales and relationship management, to tech support, helpdesk leadership, and systems operations — I carried that same value: people first, always.

I've worked closely with schools, companies, and nonprofits, solving real problems in high-stakes environments. I've developed onboarding systems, led support teams, and built trust across silos. Along the way, I've gained deep experience with platforms like TeamDynamix, ManageEngine, and Ivanti Neurons (formerly LANDesk) — systems I've learned inside and out through hands-on leadership and thousands of real-world use cases.

At the same time, I stay endlessly curious. I'm now learning tools like Supabase, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Netlify as I build out my own platforms — not just for efficiency, but to bring soul into technology.

Because I'm not just here to solve problems. I'm here to connect.
To remind people that they're not alone. That their time matters. That the person on the other end of the call, chat, or form is also human.

That belief is what led me to launch ClarityBridge CX (CBCX) — a mission-driven venture creating tools that bring empathy and connection back into digital systems. Tools like KindConnect, a platform for mutual aid and community collaboration, and Navi, a compassionate AI guide that helps people feel supported — not just served.

But CBCX is more than a company. It's part of my healing.
It's how I'm learning to show up — for my wife Laura, for my kids, for my community, and for myself. I believe in tending the gardens of our lives — our relationships, our work, our purpose — and in using technology to help others do the same.

This is me, showing up. With love. With humor. With the belief that tech can be a bridge — not a barrier — to meaningful human connection.

Thanks for being here. Let's build something beautiful together.

— Joe Allred
