The team
Three founders, one quiet conviction.
We met at Thoughtworks and stayed in each other's orbits ever since. We started Epilogue because we couldn't stop noticing how much weight grieving families carry that has nothing to do with grief itself.
Founder
Irene Chan
Irene has spent more than twenty years getting software actually delivered: the unglamorous, deeply human work of turning intent into something real. She's led Agile teams of up to fifty people across regions and lines of business, and is the kind of leader who quietly mentors the people around her into their next chapter. She believes great teams come from trusting good people, and that delivering on time, on budget and on scope is itself a kind of care. At Epilogue she's making sure what we build genuinely lands in the moments that matter most.
Co-founder
Jane Nguyen
Jane is drawn to the gap between what people imagine and what they actually pull off, and to the quiet, unglamorous work of closing it. She's spent her career helping ambitious organisations turn bold ideas into things that actually ship, most recently as CEO of Pretzel Lab at Mantel Group, where she built a studio around the belief that great products come from understanding people first and technology second. She has a low tolerance for strategy that sounds impressive and goes nowhere, and a deep affection for teams that do the hard, careful thinking. At Epilogue she's putting that same instinct toward something more personal: making sure the experience of planning for the end of life feels less like paperwork and more like someone is genuinely looking after you.
Co-founder
Ange Ferguson
Ange has spent more than twenty years helping leaders and organisations find their way through complexity, not by simplifying the world, but by making it possible to move through it together. She guided ThoughtWorks through one of its biggest transformations, from founder-led to publicly listed, and learned that the hardest changes are always the human ones. Now a Professor at Monash and an executive coach, she still believes the best advice is practical and the best leadership is generous. At Epilogue she brings a calm, steady conviction that talking about death openly, warmly and early is one of the most loving things we can teach each other to do.
