Hello, if you're reading this, you probably know that I help founders and CEOs achieve bigger business results through better people decisions.

Better organization structures. Inclusive cultures. Processes that work. Policies that enable. Pay that inspires. I partner with clients to solve people challenges with clarity, heart, and a bit of boldness.

Over the past 20ish years, I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders across the world in corporate boardrooms (yes, I wore the suit, carried the bag, and sipped the soy cappuccino), and now through my company, doing work that truly lights me up.

In 2020, I traded full-time employment for full-time curiosity and started my solo consulting journey. I began with org design and leadership development, but my path soon widened in the most unexpected ways, like working on gender, culture, and inclusion.

Since then, my work has taken me deeper into culture transformation, employee engagement, policy/process design, and end-to-end HR transformation. I work with clients across industries including nonprofits and social impact organizations and I love experimenting beyond the usual playbook to create real, measurable impact.

A few things I bring to the table:

- Culture and engagement strategy

- Leadership development and coaching

- Competency frameworks and performance management

- People process and policy design

- HR transformation (without the jargon)

- Storytelling that sticks—through writing, facilitation, and copywriting

Outside of consulting, I’m also a speaker and aspiring author, currently working on my second book and a few ghostwriting projects. And when I’m not obsessing over org charts or team dynamics, I’m either rescuing animals, giving away books (211 out of 10,000 so far), or enjoying the world’s most important job, that of being a dad to my incredible daughter.

If you believe people are the heart of your organization, and want to make that more than a tagline, let’s chat over a real or virtual coffee.

Archival Assistant

Hi there! I'm a highly curious individual who has a diverse educational background and is passionate about helping people realize their potential. I earned my high school diploma in Biology and went on to obtain a master's degree in Economics. Currently, I work in the field of Human Resources, where I help individuals from all walks of life gain clarity on their talents and utilize them to their fullest potential.

With experience in almost every aspect of Human Resources, from recruiting both tech and non-tech talent to establishing systems and processes from the ground up, I have found this field to be incredibly fulfilling. I have had the opportunity to instill SOPs and policies and establish a culture that fosters growth and development.

Over the past two years, I have gained a wealth of experience in the field of Human Resources, and I am now looking to take on roles that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. I am committed to helping organizations create a culture that values and respects individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.

If you're interested in learning more about my experience and how I can contribute to your organization, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you!
