What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can enhance employee engagement and drive strategic HR initiatives in a collaborative environment.

I am a strategic and people-first HR leader with over 10 years of experience in supporting fast-growing, globally distributed SaaS companies. As the first People hire at dbt Labs, I played a pivotal role in scaling the company from 50 to 400 employees, operationalizing core People programs around onboarding, feedback, and engagement. My efforts led to a remarkable 25% increase in employee satisfaction and a 20% reduction in onboarding ramp-up time.

My expertise encompasses a wide range of HR functions, including employee relations, performance management, and compliance. I have successfully partnered with executive teams to design and implement organizational strategies that align with business goals. I thrive in high-growth environments, where I can deliver trusted, human-centered solutions that drive both employee experience and business outcomes.
