About

I’m a People Operations & Culture leader with 5+ years of experience building scalable, people-first systems for startups and growing teams. Currently leading People Operations & Culture at Infraspec, I partner closely with founders and leadership teams to design clear, practical people systems across onboarding, performance, org design, and engagement that support growth without diluting culture. My work focuses on bringing structure, clarity, and accountability to people operations while keeping teams aligned, engaged, and high-performing. What I do best: 1. Build scalable people operations frameworks 2. Design onboarding and performance systems that drive outcomes 3. Enable founder-aligned people strategy for early and growth-stage teams 4. Strengthen culture, role clarity, and engagement as teams scale I believe strong cultures are built intentionally through simple systems that help people and businesses grow together.
