coming months. The company has also recently welcomed new C-suite
leaders to deliver on the WHOOP mission of helping people achieve

The Tech Power Players 50 recognizes leaders in software,
cybersecurity, AI and robotics, climate tech, health tech, crypto,
and beyond. The list examines their career impact on technology and
business, taking into account their tech-specific contributions and
innovations that have kept the sector vibrant in a challenging
economic climate. This is the third consecutive year that Will
Ahmed has been honored and the first year Emily Capodilupo was
recognized in this extraordinary list of leaders.
“I’m honored to be recognized by The Boston Globe again on this
annual list,” said Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP. “WHOOP is
proud to be based in Boston which is home to so many pivotal
research and medical centers and a dynamic start-up ecosystem. It’s
also great to be joined this year by Emily Capodilupo, one of our
earliest team members and our SVP of Research, Algorithms, and
Data. WHOOP would not be where it is today without her.”
"It is important to recognize the leaders of our innovation
economy who are developing technologies that are transforming our
world," said Linda Henry, CEO of Boston Globe Media. “The Globe is
committed to telling the story of this remarkable community and its
incredible impact on our region and beyond through our everyday
reporting and by recognizing the pioneers who are driving this
innovation with this list.”
The Globe convened local leaders in business and technology to
serve as advisors alongside the Globe's newsroom, including Dave
Balter, Larry Bohn, Paul English, Yasmin Cruz Ferrine, Aisha
Francis, Yvonne Hao, Linda Henry, Scott Kirsner, Youngme Moon, Eric
Paley, and Katie Rae. The committee and the Globe's newsroom
submitted over 200 nominations and scored candidates based on their
business impact – value created, revenue, number of jobs – and
their broader influence in the tech community – in terms of ideas,
reputation, and mentorship. A few committee members were included
on the list; these decisions were made by Globe staff alone.
"Boston is a leader in tech and innovation, and we're seeing a
lot of opportunity even in a challenging economy," said Greg Huang,
the Globe's Business and Tech editor. "In our third year, we wanted
the Power Players list to both stand alone and reflect broader
trends in the industry, including the surging interest in fields
like AI and climate tech."
“I am truly honored to be recognized among New England's Tech
Power Players alongside Will. This distinction reflects our
collective effort at WHOOP to pioneer transformative technologies
that enhance personal health and fitness,” said Emily Capodilupo,
Senior Vice President of Research, Algorithms, and Data at WHOOP.
“It's a privilege to contribute to the dynamic innovation landscape
that thrives here in Boston.”
