Scale the company. Not the complexity.
I partner with executives to scale organizations through stronger operating models, people strategy, and AI-enabled workflows.
Experience & Education
I currently lead Global People Strategy & Operations at Verkada in the Bay Area, where I’ve helped scale the company from ~1,000 to more than 2,400 employees globally through its rapid Series C, D, and E growth stages.
Prior to Verkada, I was an Engagement Manager at McKinsey & Company, advising executives across technology, professional services, and consumer sectors on enterprise transformation initiatives spanning operating model design, workforce strategy, salesforce effectiveness, people analytics, enterprise technology, and large-scale organizational change.
Earlier in my career, I worked in product and analytics-focused roles, and earned my bachelor’s degree from Georgia Institute of Technology and master’s degree from Harvard University.
I bring the rigor of a consultant, the mindset of an operator, and the systems thinking of a builder
Not traditional HR consulting. Let's build the operating infrastructure to scale.
Flexible partnership for messy growth moments.
