Our Core Values (Driving us internally & in all that we do through our work)
Attitude is Everything
Energy is contagious. We show up for one another (our team, our clients, and the world) with good intent. Positive internal and external mindsets have gotten us where we are and will bring us into the future. Be the kind of teammate you want to have.
Cultivate Curiosity
Curiosity is the foundation for our best work and our best lives. By approaching every day with a desire to learn, solve problems and improve, we can make anything that may seem impossible possible together.
Nurture Gratitude & Celebration
We seize opportunities to express and absorb moments of gratitude to support an overall appreciation for the small wins as well as the big ones. We enjoy the journey and find joy in the highs, lows, and everything in between.
Trust & Be Trusted
How you do anything is how you do everything. By always choosing to do the right thing in solidarity and treating one another with a high level of trust (and grace when needed), we can safely assume good intent, which is essential to our company culture.
Embrace the Challenge
Every challenge presents a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact and often the storms make the most beautiful rainbows.
Honor Commitment
We are 100% responsible for our individual lives - our relationships, our work, our mindset. Do what you say you’re going to do and proactively communicate with purposeful follow-through and you will enjoy personal and collaborative success. Being vulnerable and sharing updates extends trust and deepens relationships.
Play to Win!
No matter where you are, find the fun! If you’re stuck on a problem, play with it. Being outcome focused, and with our shared purpose and hard work as the guiding forces, we will be undeniably more successful when we find fun in the process.
Live Happyly.
Our Team
The Happyly Leadership Team is comprised of experienced technology executives with intimate knowledge of the HR landscape supported by a vast network of actively engaged, connected advisors. We are humans that are deeply connected to making the world of work better, every day.

Caitlin Iseler
As a 2x founder, Caitlin is honored to serve as the CEO & Founder of Happyly. She comes to this work with 20 years of experience in executive search and people leadership advising technology and consulting organizations on what’s most important, people. Caitlin believes deeply in the value of the environments we create at work and how they shape our lives inside and outside of work. Work has the opportunity to be a positive force multiplier when we do it right, when we inspire, motivate and connect with humans and we’re able to do our best work. It sounds simple, and it can be, but requires a thoughtful approach and connection to create inclusive environments where this is possible.
Caitlin is a graduate of The University of Virginia and was a 4 year scholarship athlete, a member of the women’s lacrosse NCAA & ACC Women’s Lacrosse National Championship team and an All American.
Outside of work, Caitlin is a mom to Hanah, and step-mom to Max and Lizzy and wife to Thomas. She and her family reside in Jackson, WY and can be found outside riding bikes, hiking, skiing and recharging via hot yoga and great meals.
Elizabeth Regard
Co-Founder
Elizabeth Regard
Co-founder of Happyly, Liz Regard was raised in Pottstown, PA and first came to DC for college. After a four-year stint in New York City in the buying office of Bloomingdales after graduating, she returned to the DC area for law school and never left. It’s been 19 years and counting! She lives in Dupont Circle with her husband, Dan, their girls, Amelia and Felicity, and dog, Rugby. She works part-time for an international trade law firm. While Liz always liked exploring the city before the girls came on the scene, having kids opened up a whole new world of adventure. Everyone is happier when they are outside, so Liz spent a lot of time online researching fun activities and destinations. She really needed Happy Active Family. Now, she’s just excited to be creating this amazing resource for families across the nation with her friend, Caitlin. In their free time, Liz and her family love to travel and are slowly trying to visit every playground in the DMV area.
