WestJet co-founder and culture guru appointed as Chairman for enterprise technology company

Jostle, a next-generation intranet software company, is delighted to announce the appointment of Don Bell as Chairman of its Board. Bell is best known for co-founding WestJet Airlines, one of the most successful airlines in the world. Bell was instrumental in the creation of WestJet’s people-centric culture that drove their growth and profitability. Bell has been a Jostle investor and Director since 2009.

Jostle’s People Engagement® platform is a new kind of intranet (internal company website) that helps organizations drive their culture and enable their employees. Jostle’s platform is rapidly displacing traditional intranets, and first-generation enterprise social platforms like Yammer and Jive, thanks to its simple and engaging people-centric approach.

“Jostle has a powerful ability to help leaders create vibrant organizations where employees are aligned, engaged, and can easily find the help they need to get their job done,” commented Bell. “It’s been very exciting to see Jostle’s platform help companies stay connected and reinforce their culture, as they deal with rapid growth and worldwide operations. It’s time to accelerate this unique and powerful approach into the marketplace, so I’m excited to work with the team to take Jostle to new heights.”

Jostle co-founder and CEO Brad Palmer reflected on Bell’s appointment, “Don has shared our vision, been a key advisor, and served as a dedicated Director. It is clear that as Chairman he will bring huge value as we navigate our own rapid growth.”
