I've spent almost 20 years building and leading People teams inside NYC tech, from scrappy startups to public companies and back again. Now with Groundswell People Partners I put all of that toward what I'm most passionate about: helping companies build great teams.
Every engagement is shaped around where you are. Most take one of three forms:
Your part-time Head of People. I work alongside your leadership team each week and own the people agenda until you're ready for a full-time hire, then help you hire them.
A defined piece of work with a clear finish line: an org design, leveling and pay, a performance process, or a restructure done with care.
A thinking partner on call when a tricky people decision lands on your desk.
I've been a startup Head of People, a senior HR business partner to C-suite leaders, and the People Ops lead for a 3,000-person, 27-location global workforce. Most recently I was VP of People & Talent at Wizard AI, where I joined as employee ~10, built the People function from the ground up and led the organization through a strategic pivot. Before that: CLEAR through its IPO, and nearly a decade at Pivotal Labs and Pivotal Software.
I also keep a few spots open each month for individuals: career coaching, resume review and interview prep from someone who has spent a career on the other side of the table. Learn more about career help.
