Partnering with teams to transform their people strategy & foundational programs

I’m a people person by trade - and have helped early to mid stage startups scale up their talent and people functions. My primary focus is developing the foundational people strategy for companies to help unify their business goals with people’s motivations. Understanding human behaviors and motivations is a key part of my approach and treating individuals as people first - employees second. I have held most roles in the people field - and most recently was leading People Strategy & Experience at Better before leaving to build out a consulting practice.

Outside of work, I spend time with my family and dogs (Colton and Turkey) while expanding my collection of beanies.

I'm currently consulting with a few different early to mid stage startups - focused on plugging in where they have gaps. Scopes include project-based program enhancements, embedded day-to-day support, fractional leadership, and advising.
