Partner, People & Talent @ Sapphire | Independent Director, Black Women On Boards
As Partner, People & Talent at Sapphire Ventures, I leverage 20+ years of experience at the intersection of sales, marketing, venture capital, and talent advisory to help build Companies of Consequence. My focus is on scaling high-growth, venture-backed businesses through strategic talent initiatives and human capital leadership. I’ve built a trusted reputation for connecting visionary founders and executive teams with transformative talent. Through deep networks and a commitment to inclusion, I work to ensure our portfolio companies have access to the leaders, advisors, and resources they need to thrive. My mission is to cultivate a diverse, high-impact talent ecosystem—one that reflects and engages today’s interconnected professional, cultural, and economic communities. I believe in the power of people to drive performance, and I’m passionate about mentoring, community-building, and advancing the future of work. Whether advising founders, shaping talent strategy, or fostering belonging at scale, I thrive at the intersection of people, purpose, and performance.
