Mary Strebinger's Linkedin Analytics

👋 Hi! I'm Mary, a Talent and People Leader with 10+ years scaling teams, ops, and culture in the business of people and purpose, with the last 8 years serving as senior leadership the early-stage VC-backed startup space. I believe in data-informed people-first decision making and connecting values-aligned top talent with startups on mission to put people, the planet, and purpose alongside profit. 🌱 I love the early stages of every business and typically enter around 10-50 headcount as a generalist to build out scalable foundations (including people tech stack, tactics, tools, and strategy) to go from 0 < 1, then 1 < 10, and run full cycle TA, People, and Culture. I’ve equally enjoyed doing this as an advisor, agency partner, embedded consultant, and in-house employee. ✨ What else? So happy you asked! Based in Los Angeles, currently operating onsite in Denver, and works globally distributed. Life-long lap swimmer. Serious caffeine fiend and an equally-troubling nootropics habit. Hearty laugher without fear of volume control or face lines. Fast-walking, hand-talking caretaker of two rescues (Stimpy + Hero) who plays well with others (they do, I do, we all do). Soft spots include: humans, the environment, the future of work, B Corps and social impact, lifelong learning (especially under the guise of adorable low-pressure games like Lumosity and Duolingo), and strong cold-opens from strangers on the Internet.
