Global People and Operations leader, and a builder from the ground up. I run the whole stack:
A trusted advisor to CEOs, Executive Leadership, and the Board of Directors.
Most People leaders own one layer. My edge is running all three at once, and wiring them together.
Roles where I owned scope well beyond the People title, and shipped the systems to match.
The stack I run across People, Talent, Revenue, Finance, and Compliance - with AI layered on top of it.
AI as an operating tool, not a talking point - built into recruiting, reporting, and the workflows that cut manual work across the business.
The system of record - people data, payroll, benefits, comp, and equity that all reconcile.
Reviews, calibration, and growth conversations that give managers a real cadence.
Structured hiring built from scratch, scaled across technical, research, and GTM.
SOC 2, security training, and controls that keep a distributed team audit-ready.
Hiring and paying people across borders, no entity required for each one.
Pipeline, forecasting, and CRM governance - the GTM layer most People leaders never touch.
The everyday layer where the whole company communicates and ships work.
An unusually broad path, which is exactly what makes the operating instinct work.
Six years in the Iowa Army National Guard - logistics and training, the operating discipline underneath everything since.
Nonprofit leadership at Starlight, Girl Scouts, and the AIDS Marathon program - moving people and resources toward a goal.
Genuinely embedded in crypto culture, on and off the clock - not a recent arrival to the space.
Global by default. I've built teams, run programs, and supported employees across North America, Europe, and Asia - and just about everywhere a distributed company reaches.
Good systems make work easier. Great conversations make good systems. Let's have one.
