About

I lead People & Org Strategy at Fi, partnering closely with founders and business leaders on org design, compensation, and team structure. My work sits at the business end of HR - aligning incentives, clarifying accountability, and building operating structures that help teams perform through scale and contraction. I’ve led restructuring efforts, compensation recalibration, and cross-functional change initiatives in high-ambiguity environments. Beyond the core people function, I’ve driven practical AI adoption across teams - helping leaders rethink workflows, experiment with tools, and integrate AI into decision-making in ways that improve speed and execution. Across my time at Fi, I’ve worked on: • Org restructuring and role clarity • Compensation strategy and incentive alignment • Manager capability and leadership partnering • Cross-functional programs requiring execution discipline I’m particularly interested in how org design, incentives, and emerging technology shape performance in product-led companies.
