I'm a founder, and serial start-up HR leader, with roots in talent acquisition. My expertise is in building high-performing cultures for venture-backed startups.


I have scaled companies from early stage through IPO, ultimately contributing to over $4B in aggregate company value. 


I help start-up founding teams build teams and scalable culture through talent processes and programming.
