I am an experienced Private Equity professional, former consultant, and operational restructuring specialist with over 10 years of experience working with various organizations to structure, arrange, and execute financing transactions, drive operational change, reduce costs and increase cash. By working alongside management, I develop and implement realistic and pragmatic plans, giving management confidence to make tough decisions and drive through change at pace. I have previously worked at Amplity Health (an Altamont Capital Partners portfolio company) as Chief of Staff and at PwC as a Manager within Business Recovery Services, focused on Operational Restructuring and Turnaround. Early in my career, I worked as a Performance Analyst at the BBC, working in the Technology Operations Department. My role was to deliver a reporting suite to drive up departmental performance against ITIL - based KPIs. I hold an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where my focus was on Finance, Operations, and Leadership. I am an avid kayaker, skier, and scuba diver with an all-around passion for adventure and the outdoors. Specialties: Structuring, arranging, and executing financing transactions. Strategic finance, operational restructuring and improvement, cost reduction, strategy development and execution, coaching, leadership development, and project management.

I believe great HR isn't just a support function - it's the operating system that builds better businesses, stronger cultures, and more resilient leadership. That belief has guided my 30+ year career in human capital leadership, where I've held the top HR job 4X and supported teams through IPOs, bankruptcies, sponsor exits, and dozens of mergers and acquisitions. I've built functions from scratch as well as led teams inside world-class organizations like Pepsi and GE. Today, I apply those lessons in 3 ways: - As an Operating Partner for Altamont Capital Partners, I help portfolio companies drive results through better management strategy. - As the founder of Series B Consulting, I advise investors and high-growth companies on executive hiring, organizational design, and effective people practices. - And through People Leader Accelerator - an MBA-caliber development experience and peer community for HR leaders. Since launch, PLA has helped 100+ strategic HR leaders elevate their impact. I also teach, write, speak, and mentor emerging leaders - because while I still love doing the work, I'm just as passionate about helping others grow into it. If you’re an HR leader ready to accelerate your impact or a founder/investor looking to better equip your People leader, let’s connect. 📩 DM me or visit peopleleaderaccelerator.com to apply or book a conversation.

I am a Master's student and Clarendon Scholar at the University of Oxford for the 2024-2025 school year, pursuing a MSc in Social Science of the Internet at the Oxford Internet Institute (submitted thesis: graduation November 2025). My research focuses on the evolution of ideology in Silicon Valley and the future of the AGI race. Prior to Oxford, I spent two years as a (Senior) Business Analyst with McKinsey & Company in Washington D.C., focusing mainly on strategic implementations of artificial intelligence across a broad swathe of clients, considering differential value while mitigating risks. I received a B.S.H. in Symbolic Systems (Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence) from Stanford University in 2022, and my undergraduate research (now published) demonstrated how an AI-moderated platform can politically depolarize individuals. I also hold a minor in Poetry.
