Founders
Hannah McMullen is cofounder and CMO. She certified as a Pilates instructor in 2015, owns The Reformery in Rochester, NY, and still teaches. The messy hiring process she saw as an instructor is why PlankeApp exists. See her bio on the about page.
Patrick (PJ) McMullen is cofounder and CEO. He is a software engineer who built PlankeApp after watching Hannah navigate Craigslist posts, Instagram DMs, and demo classes just to find teaching work. See his bio on the about page.
