I build the people infrastructure that makes aggressive growth plans actually executable.

I'm  a Chief People Officer with 25+ years building the people infrastructure that lets ambitious companies scale fast without breaking. My work lives at the intersection of talent strategy and EBITDA — not because I was told to connect them, but because I've never known how to separate them.

I've operated inside PE-backed platforms at the moments that matter most such as rapid growth, M&A integration, leadership reconfiguration, and preparing for exit. I work alongside CEOs and boards, not below them. My job is to make the growth plan actually executable while building a great culture.
