I am an enterprise operator, organization builder, and author who partners with founders, CEOs, and boards to build organizations that can deliver on their ambitions.

I see the founder's genius, the leadership capacity in the organization, and what the business needs next. Then I translate that insight into the strategy, operating model, decision rights, resource allocation, financial discipline, and execution required to scale.

At 25, I learned the lesson that would define my career. As Director of Client Services at Circles, a workplace-experience company serving Fortune 500 employers, I led 200 people through a period of hypergrowth.

Growth without structure does not scale people. It breaks them faster.

Four times since, across technology, corporate, and mission-driven organizations, I have built the systems that turn ambition into repeatable performance.

At City Year, I built the infrastructure that scaled a regional education model into a national and international organization serving nearly one million students across 28 U.S. cities and three international sites.

At Health Leads, I led the transformation from managed services to a national platform, growing the workforce 35% during a $16M foundation-backed expansion and increasing retention from 62% to 93%.

At Valimail, I led strategy and operating transformation that grew ARR from $12M to $30M, doubled headcount, evolved a regional in-person company into a global remote operating model, and reversed $1.5M in monthly cash burn to achieve Rule of 40 profitability before its acquisition by DigiCert. I also led enterprise AI workforce strategy, redesigning job architecture and reallocating human capacity toward higher-leverage work as the technology matured.

I build leadership teams as deliberately as I build operating models. Across City Year, Health Leads, and Valimail, I strengthened representation across executive, leadership, and workforce systems because leadership composition affects decision quality, innovation, accountability, and the organization's capacity to execute.

That experience became Wired to Win: The Hidden Code for Leaders to Build and Scale High-Performing Organizations, forthcoming Fall 2026. The book advances a simple conviction: leadership is the system. How leaders see, decide, prioritize, and hold accountability shapes the organization's capacity to grow, perform, and endure.

AI is one of the most visible tests of that conviction. Technology cannot resolve unclear priorities, weak decision-making, fragmented accountability, or a culture that cannot learn. It scales what is already there.

I have been recognized by Business Insider, the Stevie Awards, and the Business Intelligence Group. During my tenure, Valimail was named a Fast Company Best Workplace for Innovators and a Built In Best Place to Work.

I live in the Bay Area with my husband and our two kids, who keep me honest, humble, and constantly laughing.

A CAREER OF BUILDING WHAT MATTERS

01

The cost of scale

Growth without structure breaks people faster than it builds companies.

02

Scaling mission

A regional idea becomes infrastructure for nearly one million students.

03

Making the pivot executable

Strategy works only when the organization can carry it.

04

Building profitable scale

Growth, financial discipline, and a global operating model.

05

Naming the system

The leader is the system. In the AI era, that determines whether technology expands a team's capacity or begins to dictate how the team works.
