Driving Healthcare outcomes by connecting leaders with high-impact talent | Founder at Talenta | CHRO

Chief HR Officer. Executive Recruiter. Founder. Business Builder.

The game of business is the challenge of a lifetime — and the one I keep coming back to.

I’ve built my career on a clear conviction: companies that scale well are led well. In private equity, founder-led, and high-growth environments, leadership and people systems determine whether momentum compounds or stalls.

I serve as Chief HR Officer at Premier Roofing, a Denver-based, Aurora Capital–backed business scaling in a fiercely competitive market. Alongside that, I run Talenta HR Group, my boutique firm helping PE-backed companies solve their toughest people challenges through executive search, fractional CHRO support, and talent strategy advisory.

I also created TalentSignal— an AI-powered recruiting visibility tool that helps growth companies uncover brand blind spots, benchmark funnels, and attract the right talent faster.

What you’ll find here: sharp takes on talent, performance, private equity, and business in general. Wins, mistakes, and the occasional contrarian view.

If you’re building something ambitious — or wrestling with the friction of scale — my DMs are open.

I help leaders turn business goals into tangible results by focusing on their people. My philosophy is simple: HR should be focused on meaningful and tailored enablement, not control. A business can only reach its full potential when it has the right people, in the right places for the right result, and it's HR's job to support and enable leaders to make that happen.

With over 14 years of global experience across the technology and life sciences industries, I've developed a passion for Talent Management, Organizational Design, Human Capital Planning, and strategic HRBP partnerships. I've worked with everything from venture-backed startups to Fortune 500s, helping them navigate the entire HR cycle and achieve their goals through effective people strategies.
