About Us
The Happyly Mission
Our mission is to cultivate a positive and connected community where individuals and organizations can thrive and make a lasting impact.
Why We Exist
At Happyly, we strive to promote well-being and foster community among individuals and organizations. Our innovative wellness app and web version offer curated activities, event planning tools, and volunteer opportunities that bring people together and promote team bonding. We are committed to leveraging the latest AI-powered solutions to create customizable events that strengthen relationships and enhance overall company culture and social responsibility.
Our Core Values
Attitude is Everything
Energy is contagious. We show up for one another 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.

Caitlin Iseler
As CEO & Founder at Happyly, I am grateful for the opportunity to live my purpose and to work with our amazing team partnering with incredible companies to support their wellness initiatives. I’m equally passionate about creating, alongside our team, a well culture where our team can contribute professionally in a meaningful way while enjoying a balanced and fulfilling family life. My husband, Thomas, and daughter, Hanah love exploring and we use Happyly at home and when traveling to find bike paths, hikes and playgrounds around Virginia and in Wyoming and in the fun places we travel for outdoor activities. I am a double hoo from The University of Virginia studying religious studies and technology from McIntire school of commerce.

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.

Mary Webb Banning
Head of Customer Success
Mary Webb Banning
Mary Webb joined the Happyly team as the Head of Ambassador Community and Content Growth in January 2022! As a native of coastal Virginia, going to college in mountains of Tennessee and spending multiple summers in Wyoming working on a ranch, she loves being out in nature. She was immediately drawn to happyly because of the importance of experiencing time outdoors for both mental wellness and the opportunity to learn about the connection between humans and nature. Mary Webb is currently in Washington D.C. and comes from a non-profit background managing multiple programs focused on education and the environment. As the head of the Ambassador Community and Content Growth, she will act as a point of contact for all interested Ambassadors and work to expand both the 100+ Ambassador team and the content they create to stretch across the US and beyond.
