I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel.
It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities.
I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently.
Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView.
My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)
Talent Acquisition Expert | Building Scalable Operations, Employer Branding
With over six years of experience in talent acquisition, I am passionate about finding, attracting, and retaining top talent for diverse and innovative organizations. My core competencies include human resources, performance management, recruiting, and employer branding. I have a strong background in the management consulting and software solutions industries, and I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies. I enjoy working with cross-functional teams and collaborating with stakeholders to achieve strategic business goals and create positive impacts.
Most recently, I was the Senior Talent Acquisition Manager at Mitek Systems, a global leader in mobile image capture, remote deposit, and identity verification software solutions. I managed the nationwide recruiting efforts for Mitek, assisted international recruiting efforts in Europe and APAC, and maintained a personal requisition load of hard-to-fill positions. I also developed and implemented talent acquisition strategies, policies, and best practices to ensure quality, efficiency, and diversity of hires. I left Mitek in June 2023 to pursue new opportunities and challenges in the talent acquisition field.
I enjoy helping technology organizations create and launch solutions to solve business problems and serve needs of the community. I’ve been fortunate to be at the convergence of finance, tech and the Internet, and I can't think of a more exciting place to be. I've had the opportunity to:
– Found and launch new businesses, help them scale and exit
– Meet and work with amazing friends in early and growth stage teams
– Utilize a variety of business models in many different verticals
– Raise capital for existing and new ventures
Happy to share these experiences with you!
During my 10 years of digital marketing experience in the SaaS industry, I contributed
to scaling my current company from a seeded startup to a Series C-funded company. The
most exciting part of this journey was adapting & reinventing our programs as the company was scaling to support its rapid growth.
