Mary Jantsch — Co-Founder
I care deeply about helping people design careers that look less like ladders and more like ecosystems. I write, build tools, and offer working sessions for people figuring out what comes next. Previously, I built people, talent, and operating systems at startups like Buffer, Hipcamp, Tuff, and Elpha. After experiencing burnout, I experimented with a different pace of work while building a local small business, studying ecology, and redesigning my career as a portfolio of work. Now, I split my time between: → Supporting individuals as they navigate similar transitions and build optionality. → Writing and building products to help people design more sustainable careers. → Leading workshops and giving talks about my Career Season Framework.
