Marin Nelson, a seasoned executive with over 15 years in enterprise software sales, is the Co-Founder and CEO of Sobrynth, a company dedicated to supporting employees and their families dealing with substance use disorders (SUD) and those exploring sobriety. Her professional journey includes significant roles at Salesforce, where she co-founded Soberforce in 2020, an employee resource group that attracted 500 members within five months to discuss sobriety and sober allyship. This initiative highlighted the need for clear care navigation pathways for employees seeking tangible help, inspiring Marin to establish Sobrynth.
Sobrynth offers 24/7 assistance to employees and their families, providing connections to peer recovery specialists who offer coaching and resources. Recognizing that returning to work is a crucial part of an individual's recovery journey, Sobrynth supplies a world-class sober employee resource group framework, helping employers create safe and trusting workplaces essential for successful sobriety. The company's mission is to assist individuals in navigating their unique sobriety paths, both at home and in the workplace.
Under Marin's leadership, Sobrynth addresses a significant gap in employee benefits, considering that 1 in 10 employees have active, untreated substance use disorders, making it a prevalent yet often overlooked workplace issue. By fostering recovery-ready workplaces, Sobrynth not only supports affected employees but also contributes to overall workplace safety and productivity. Marin's personal experience with long-term recovery and her professional background uniquely position her to lead this initiative, aiming to ensure that no one has to navigate SUD alone.
