About my work
I embed in growing companies as their senior strategic people leader, advising the leadership team and guiding the organization’s most pressing people decisions: who to hire, how to organize, how to perform and how AI changes all three.
I’m a business operator, strategic people leader, and executive coach with almost two decades of experience scaling high-growth businesses, building strong cultures and high-performing teams and coaching high-achieving leaders.
I combine consulting discipline, an appetite for building and keen people instincts. I thrive in high-stakes decisions and tough conversations, while helping leaders stay accountable to their values and the standard they set for themselves.
At Next Street, I built our first people function and drove the operating rhythm, enabling 2x headcount growth in 2 years, transforming retention from 65% to 92% and increasing the eNPS from low 40s to high 70s (average). I’ve designed new operating models and culture-led change strategies for F100 companies including FedEx, Aon, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Gore-Tex.
I’m especially drawn to purpose-driven companies, and to those building for and with women, where the mission is the reason people show up and the culture has to carry it as the company grows.

How we can work together
Flexible and strategic senior people leadership, without the full-time hire.
You have the HR basics covered and want people and culture to drive business results now and as you grow. You don’t need an HR operator. You need a strategic partner who sees the full potential of your mission and can make what makes you special scale.
This isn’t outside consulting. I join your leadership meetings, build relationships with your managers, and operate as part of the inner circle. The work is hands-on:
- People ops foundations: comp bands, leveling, performance cadence, hiring scorecards, onboarding
- Leadership team development: 1:1 coaching for founders and senior leaders, offsites, and the hard conversations about roles and dynamics
- Organizational design: structure, role clarity, manager development, and planning for the next stage before you’re in it
- Culture and values: turning aspirational values into operating norms
