I’m an ambitious and results-focused HR leader passionate about growth in companies, starting with people. My experience has given me a broad HR perspective in a variety of environments, from Fortune 50 to start-ups. I especially enjoy the fast pace and scrappiness of small- and medium-sized companies, where I can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the business.
