About

I've spent my career doing two things most people don't realize go together: building systems that protect people, and partnering with senior leaders to make smarter talent decisions. As a Global HRBP, I sit at the intersection of business strategy and people reality. My role isn't to deliver HR services — it's to be in the room when a business problem is forming, ask the questions that surface the people implications, and help leaders think through consequences they may not have fully considered yet: legal exposure, cultural signals, retention risk, and long-term precedent. That's where I'm most valuable — not just in moments of escalation, but before they happen. I operate with a strong point of view. I'm not the loudest voice in the room, but I'm often the most prepared. I've partnered globally across Engineering, Sales, Customer Success and Support, IT, Legal, Marketing, Finance, and Operations, helping executives and leaders navigate workforce transformation, organizational redesign, and the kinds of people decisions that rarely have simple answers. What I bring to every partnership: • The ability to translate business objectives into talent strategy — and hold that translation under pressure • A rigor for fairness and consistency that builds trust over time with leaders, employees, and legal alike • Pattern recognition across complex people decisions, including the second- and third-order effects that can shape teams and culture over time • Calm in complexity — when ambiguity is highest, I'm often at my best Now, as Sr. Director, I'm focused on helping the business scale through transformation — strengthening leadership capability, evolving the HRBP function, and navigating the organizational impact of AI, growth, and change. I believe the best HR partners don't need to dominate the conversation — they come prepared, earn trust, and help shape better decisions before anyone realizes the outcome could have gone differently.
