Strategic HR leader with a product brain, people heart & pop culture soul | Advisor to HR Tech & Early-Stage Orgs | Creator and host of Toot or Boot (the podcast where HR keeps it real)

I build strategic, scalable people functions for early-stage tech companies, combining deep HR expertise with a product-minded approach. My experience spans building HR systems from scratch with limited resources to creating sophisticated employee experiences at scale. As both an operator and advisor in HR tech, I bridge the worlds of people strategy and product development—helping companies build better tools while implementing those same solutions in real-world environments. My expertise includes: - Designing and implementing inclusive employee journeys for global tech companies - Building HR functions from the ground up with scrappy, resourceful approaches - Providing product expertise to HR tech companies on user needs and market fit - Creating scalable programs for onboarding, manager development, and key moments - Developing inclusive communication frameworks that work across diverse teams - Advocating for workplace wellbeing and employee mental health My sweet spot is helping early-stage companies create systems that support both the humans doing the work and the businesses trying to grow. I'm passionate about making great employee experiences available to everyone while advocating for the HR professionals who implement these solutions. My approach balances empathy with pragmatism, focusing on creating evidence-based people strategies that drive both engagement and business results. Currently VP of People Strategy at Pyn and advisor to innovative HR tech companies, I work at the intersection of employee experience, product strategy, progressive workplace design and business impact.
