Our values
What guides how we build and serve
Clarity first
We simplify complex systems into plain-English guidance people can actually use when moving or settling in to their new home.
Human support
We design for real lives, not ideal journeys, with tools and services that reduce overwhelm (we know, we have lived it all).
Trust & curation
We prioritize vetted information, trusted partners, and communities people can rely on. We are part of the ecosystems we recommend.
Real Progress
Ultimately, we want you to make progress. We are looking to provide you with 1) clarity 2) action 3) results.
Core team
A small team on a big mission
Johannes Tonn
Relentlesy Optimistic
The man who had the idea. Johannes has a deep experience in international organizations, has worked across 40 countries, and had the original vision for making Waypoint a reality.
Thomas Barron
Decisively Imperfect
The builder. Tom, actually the son of a “real” builder, experienced first-hand the problems Waypoint fixes; so he was instantly drawn to building the product and experience out for users.
Alexandra Dolea
Unapologetically Operationalist
The practical academic. Alexandra established herself with a successful career in academia before transitioning into international coaching and community building.
Gaurav Gandhi
Compulsively Connected
The story-teller. Gaurav has worked in major IT and innovation roles, authored a book and continues to connect people across continents everyday.
Global Experience
We’ve lived the journey ourselves
Between our team, we have collectively lived in 17 countries across five continents — as employees of international organisations and major companies, as founders navigating legal complexity, as academics moving between systems, and as connectors building networks across borders.
