What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale people operations, talent, and culture functions for fast-paced startup or technology organizations, with opportunities to lead global workforce strategy, employee experience, and inclusive team growth.

At Transmission, I lead People & Talent across North America as part of the Senior Leadership Team and as the region's first people and talent hire. I oversee HRBP and talent functions across the US, EMEA, and APAC.

I've built enterprise talent architectures, organizational design initiatives, succession plans, and workforce strategies while leading recruiting, employee relations, learning and development, performance management, and employee experience. My programs increased employee happiness by 42%, increased skill development by 150%, and reduced time to hire by approximately 50%.

Through GCA Consulting, I serve as a fractional Head of Talent for clients including ELVTR, Hoops HR, and UPS. I lead full-cycle hiring from mid-level through C-suite roles and help clients shape workforce planning, compensation strategy, employer brand, performance management, and employee programs.

Previously, I was the first hire at Knack Collective, where I helped grow the team by 113% during H1 2020 and built recruiting, onboarding, performance review, rewards, compliance, DEI recruiting, HRIS, and ATS processes.
