People and operations are the heartbeat of companies aiming for rapid growth. To scale quickly, you need top talent, a positive and collaborative culture, and operations that run and expand smoothly. I lead people strategy for hypergrowth tech, creative and digital companies. I’m a servant-leader, a cross-functional, cross-cultural business thinker, a people geek, and a strengths-based coach with a Six Sigma Black Belt, TQ/PM certified, with a MSBA in HR Management and an MBA. I spent 2022 as Chief People Officer with Rain Instant Pay, an app that employers can offer their people for early access to their earned wages, joining after Series A to define and put into place a People strategy for aggressive growth globally. Prior, as SVP of People at subscription box leader FabFitFun, I oversaw people strategy through VC-funded rapid growth followed by cost-cutting and a RIF, kept staff safe in Covid, defined our vision for the future of work, and then scaled again. Before that, I led people and operations at incubation firm BCG Digital Ventures, as we quadrupled to 800 people in global entrepreneurial hubs launching category-changing digital products and services for world-class clients at startup speed. I’m a founding member of CPOHQ, a curated forum for the Chief People Officer community, and also a startup advisor with PeopleTech Partners, a network of business leaders supporting tech startups committed to transforming how we work. I like to use my superpowers for good with mission-driven companies and I love creating and nurturing strong company cultures, engaged global workforces, and scalable operations..

I'm an entrepreneur, venture capitalist, product designer, solutions architect, senior developer and an innovator who is dedicated to bringing humanity back to the internet. To date, I've started two companies, sold one, taught coding at MIT, been a VC partner, designed a prosthetic arm for a three-year-old and founded a non-profit dedicated to bringing education to underserved communities. I happen to be curious about everything, and believe that the cross-section of technology and education will change our lives forever.

I am an incoming Junior Software Engineer at Nutshell with a passion for solving everyday problems through software

I'm a seasoned marketing and growth professional with 12+ years of experience in B2B and DTC strategy. I'm now the Director of Demand Generation at ClickUp. I'm also an ordained minister and perform weddings. My background in growth marketing at operationally-complex high-growth companies has taught me to think critically about product and consumer psychology. With an eye towards customer acquisition and retention, I focus on user onboarding & engagement mechanisms and believe that every user's experience should be as personalized as possible. I prioritize maturity of team, ability to execute, and boldness of vision, and I believe that great people gravitate toward that mix. Given that mix, I'm seeking companies with the lowest chance of success in the short-term.
