Muriel Clauson Closs

Born in South Africa and raised in Alaska, Muriel navigated to the intersection of AI and the global workforce. Earning a doctorate in industrial and organizational psychology from the University of Georgia along the way, she is on a mission to enable the underserved. Muriel co-founded Anthill to connect the deskless workforce—frontline workers who often lack access to smartphones and computers—with employee resources on any kind of device and in over 100 languages. In 2026, Muriel sold Anthill to Humanly, an AI recruiting company.
