You built the product. Now you have to build the company.
I am a fractional People Operations leader helping organizations grow with purpose—building the teams, operational foundations and cultures that deliver lasting impact and meaningful business outcomes.
Who I Work With
Companies between 10 and 100 people past the founding team but not quite ready for a full-time operations or people executive. The moment usually arrives when funding flows in, hiring accelerates, and when the need for managers or manager training appears.
What I'm Hired to Do
People Operations is my strength, and two decades of General Management experience ensures I never lose sight of the big picture.

About Me
I am a San Francisco based GM and People Operations leader. I grew a creative agency from founding team to 75 people, acquired by Salesforce in 2017.
I help teams and founders attract great talent, keep engagement high and build programs that scale, and processes that make sense.
I believe organizational design that invests in the strengths of the team and deeply considers how to activate and engage talent is a powerful business tool that will supercharge your company.
How We Work Together
Fractional Head of People or Operations
Ongoing part-time engagement typically 1-3 days / week with flexibility to scale up or down depending on business needs. Best when you need a leader in the room, not just a project delivered.
Project Based
A day rate for the things that come up. Interview panels, a tricky employee situation, a board deck, a second opinion.
On Demand
A defined problem with a defined end: standing up a hiring process, designing performance reviews, building a manager playbook, running an executive search.
Most engagements start with a 30 minute call and a short written scope. No long-term contract required.
