About me: Firm believer that the best opportunities are often disguised as really hard work. I have a track record of repeated success at scale growing or advising venture backed and public companies (growth arcs 0-30k). I accomplish this by bringing a business first approach while continuously optimizing teams to unlock successful business outcomes. My approach is underpinned by a blend of strategic and hands on operational competencies that are at this point muscle memory. I'm repelled by performative HR initiatives that don't produce results preferring to focus my time on things I know actually work. Two special powers I have are that I'm unflappable and resilient. I've learned both are highly adaptive traits when scaling companies. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, travel, and exploring the outdoors with my family ⛷ 🏕. Agencies/Vendors: we do not need help sourcing candidates. Candidates: If you're interested in any role with Kiddom - please apply! Your resume will be reviewed by our hiring team. If you don’t see a role that’s a fit, please apply to our general application. I appreciate your outreach to discuss your qualifications, but I need to be judicious with my time. Same goes for our Support team - pro tip - there's no easy way to say this but don't reach out to our support team to follow up on an application. It never works to your advantage and it can show poor judgement. My recommendation is to fold your pitch into your resume to give yourself the best chance and representation of your experience. We've seen a big spike in our inbound applications recently so I'm not able to provide updates on every person's candidacy or application. If you apply, rest assured it's being reviewed. Good luck!

I’m passionate about cultivating high-performing, human-centered teams — especially in remote-first environments. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built and scaled the People function (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Business Partners, People Operations) at Help Scout, where I joined as the 25th hire and helped grow the team to 140+. As VP of People, I partner with the executive team to align People strategy with business goals, strengthen performance and rewards systems, drive DEI impact, and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging. I’m also actively exploring how responsible AI adoption can future-proof People and business operations, helping teams work smarter and thrive in this new age. You can find me speaking and writing about hiring excellence, remote culture, performance management, scaling AI usage internally, employee engagement, and DEI.
