Curtis Forbes

Curtis Forbes is the founder and CEO of MustardHub, a workforce engagement platform that helps companies reduce turnover, build stronger cultures, and unlock predictive insights into employee well-being. A serial entrepreneur with a background in both technology startups and education, Curtis previously built and scaled Forbes Music Company and later expanded into a roll-up portfolio of education businesses before exiting in 2025.

With more than two decades of experience leading distributed teams, he has seen firsthand how trust, recognition, and flexible support systems shape whether people stay and thrive, or burn out and leave. At MustardHub, he is pioneering approaches to employee engagement, predictive workforce insights, and portable benefits that align with the realities of modern work. Outside of work, Curtis stays active in music, enjoys traveling, and advocates for social causes, particularly initiatives supporting foster youth in Central Texas.
