About
Over 25 years of experience in public and private sectors specifically in Business Development, Operations, Strategy, Communications, Culture, and Human Resources. Experienced working with organized, successful, and powerful Fortune 100 companies to scrappy, messy, and innovative start-ups where we have gone public and back to private.
I have not traditionally grown up in HR, I worked in a variety of roles to understand the business, customer acquisition, and sub-cultures of other teams. This has proven to give me a well-rounded approach and knowledge around how to manage, motivate and inspire our most important resources, people and culture.
