Luemyn names first advisory group for AI workforce platform

Luemyn, a New York-based workforce technology company, named five advisors to guide development of its Attaynly platform as it moves toward its first commercial release. The company is also opening early-access cohorts and will host its first Attaynly: First Look on Oct. 13 in New York City during EdTech Week 2026.

Why it matters: - Luemyn is trying to build Attaynly with input from the people who work in workforce development, education, technology, employer engagement and community systems. - The company is aiming to connect skills, training, credentials, employers and outcomes in one platform. - That could matter for job seekers, employers and public agencies that need better visibility into what training leads to employment.

What happened: - Luemyn announced its inaugural advisory group on Sept. 25, 2026. - The group includes John Campbell, Bianca Cervantes, Thurston O’Neal, Paris Roberts and Michael Todisco. - The advisors will guide Luemyn’s leadership and development teams as the company advances Attaynly, its AI-powered workforce technology platform. - Attaynly is designed to better connect individual capabilities, education and training, employer needs, credentials and workforce outcomes.

The details: - John Campbell is founder and CEO of FundEd Strategies. - Campbell has nearly 20 years of experience in education, fundraising and the social sector. - FundEd Strategies has supported more than 115 charter schools and education nonprofits since 2018 in raising and managing more than $250 million. - Campbell will advise on education, fundraising, organizational growth and sustainability. - Bianca Cervantes is founder and CEO of Bianomics. - Cervantes works at the intersection of workforce development, communications, human potential and economic mobility. - Through Bianomics and its workforce platform, Groundwork, Cervantes develops strategies and tools connecting strengths, career pathways and organizational needs. - Cervantes will advise on workforce ecosystems, learner and worker experience, strategic communications and scalable pathway design. - Thurston O’Neal is CEO of Long Island Teamworks. - O’Neal is a licensed marriage and family therapist and a community leader focused on behavioral health, youth development, prevention and community wellness. - O’Neal will bring a human-development perspective, including the social, emotional and structural factors that affect workforce participation, persistence and advancement. - Paris Roberts is an infrastructure engineer. - Roberts has nearly a decade of experience in systems engineering, cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure across the aerospace, defense and federal sectors. - Roberts’ background includes work supporting Lockheed Martin, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Northrop Grumman, including systems supporting the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover mission. - Roberts will advise on secure, scalable and sustainable technology infrastructure. - Michael Todisco is CEO of Apprenticeship Connections. - Todisco has 13 years of experience in apprenticeship, workforce training, employer engagement, compliance and public funding. - Apprenticeship Connections supports more than 100 active apprentices across eight states. - Todisco will advise on apprenticeship, employer-driven training and workforce pathways. - Luemyn said the advisory group is meant to bring specialized perspectives into product development, market strategy and understanding of the organizations, employers and individuals Attaynly is built to serve.

Between the lines: - Founder and CEO Isaiah Grigg is signaling that Luemyn wants outside expertise before launch, not after the product is already fixed. - Grigg said workforce development sits at the intersection of education, employers, technology, human development, funding and community. - The advisory group mixes mission-driven operators with technical expertise, which suggests Luemyn is trying to balance product design, market fit and infrastructure from the start. - Bianca Cervantes said most workforce platforms focus on matching people to openings, while Attaynly aims to start with how people discover strengths and move through a pathway. - John Campbell said the platform could give job seekers, employers and public agencies a shared view of skills, training and opportunity.

What's next: - Luemyn has opened the Attaynly Founding Cohort for organizations that want to join early demonstrations and provide feedback during development. - The company is also holding Attaynly First Look experiences and workforce innovation conversations with leaders across workforce development, education, technology, healthcare and employment. - The first Attaynly: First Look is scheduled for Oct. 13, 2026, in New York City during EdTech Week 2026.

The bottom line: - Luemyn is positioning Attaynly as a workforce platform shaped by practitioners, not just software developers, as it heads toward market.
