About

Most People executives specialize. I've built expertise across the full stack. Over 12+ years I've operated as a recruiting leader, DEI strategist, HRBP, and talent and performance architect — not dabbling in each, but building functions, frameworks, and operating models in all of them from the ground up. At companies like Google, Twitter, ChartHop, Harry's, Better.com, and Phantom I haven't just supported these disciplines. I've built them where they didn't exist and transformed them where they were broken. That breadth is rare. And it means I can do something most People leaders can't: see the full talent lifecycle as an integrated system and design people infrastructure that actually holds together at scale. Here's what that looks like in practice: → Built leveling frameworks, Bar Check programs, and Keeper Test processes that gave leaders a shared standard for what great looks like → Scaled recruiting functions from zero, including taking Better.com from 500 to 7,000 employees in under a year → Designed DEI infrastructure that made inclusion a measurable leadership accountability, not a standalone program → Partnered with CTOs, CPOs, and C-suite leaders at publicly traded and high growth companies on the hardest org and talent decisions → Built AI-native workflows into how the People function operates, replacing manual people work with real time intelligence
