Your Achor is the vision of Caron Barruw and Glenn Barruw, two therapists who envisioned a community-driven online platform offering therapy, coaching, groups, expert chats, and seminars.
Caron Barruw was born in South Africa, grew up and trained in the USA, and moved to London in 1999. Over a 27-year career, she was the VP of Organisational Development at Bumble and Bumble NY and worked with the Florida Panthers (NHL). In 2000, she set up Power-U Ltd with Glenn Barruw, Ph.D., in London.
Power-U Ltd consults with companies, individuals, and couples. Over the past 24 years, it has developed into a global consulting practice specialising in mental wellness in the workplace and at home.
Glenn Barruw started his young adult life as a professional baseball prospect. He then worked in Miami in the criminal justice system, qualified with a Master's in Behaviour, and, as a therapist, set up a consulting practice working with ADD/ADHD. Obtaining a Ph.D. in behavioural psychology, he relocated to the UK and co-founded Power-U Ltd in 2000. Glenn consults with individuals, CEOs, Boards of Directors, and many top-level executives and companies.
Clinton Fein, a technology strategist with over 30 years of experience, joined the team in 2021 to serve as CIO responsible for the strategic and technological infrastructure of the Your Anchor platform.
Fein's journey began in 1983 after obtaining a degree in Industrial Psychology. In 1987, he co-founded Positive Systems, Inc., a New York-based recruitment agency focused on applying Artificial Intelligence to the financial and insurance industries. Moving to Silicon Valley, he founded several successful companies in the tech industry and was responsible for setting legal and policy precedents in technology and telecommunications. He also presided over NGOs fighting censorship and preserving privacy.
