Hello!
I'm Emily, an HR executive and consultant who’s spent nearly a decade growing and scaling People teams at high-growth tech startups. I’ve built an HR team of zero into a 20+ person, well-oiled machine supporting a 1000+ person company. I’ve launched international footprints and led M&A from due diligence to integration. I’ve spent countless hours coaching and developing people leaders at various stages of their professional journeys. I thrive bringing order and structure to chaos, and I love working with individuals to navigate the human condition.
What I Offer
Looking for a coach, advisor, or builder? You’ve come to the right place. Let’s build out onboarding, develop a Manager Training program, review and analyze your systems and benefits, or set and reach developmental goals.
Development Coaching
Whether you’re a seasoned exec, or a first-time manager, we can work together on headcount planning, organization structure, business operations, or succession planning.
Benefits Advisory
Based on your company and goals, let’s create a cost-effective plan, including how much to spend, which benefits to offer, and where to buy.
Operations Build
I’ll develop your onboarding, set up HR system workflows, or create your due diligence documentation for fundraising, M&A, and more.
Working Together
No two partnerships are alike. I can pinch-hit while you're looking for a full-time People leader, or offer a third party perspective as you navigate the chaos of your high-growth startup. We may connect for a project-specific stint, or build a lasting relationship. Let’s devise a partnership that helps you reach your goals.
I believe that...
I learn by doing, and believe that if you’re not learning, you’re not expanding. When it comes to People, there's never a one size fits all solution. I’ll never just throw the playbook at you.
High quality work is non-negotiable.
Transparency and clear, proactive communications are key.
Respect is the foundation to a successful partnership.
Laughing along the way keeps us moving forward.
My Philosophy
I strive to understand the “why” – and how behavior impacts those around us. How do I structure this team? Why can’t we communicate? How do I grow this team? Together we can take a step back and think through each scenario. Let’s explore the ripple effect together.
On my own time, I'm skiing, hiking, surfing, and taking walks. Right now, my husband and I are "dating” cities across the U.S., keeping adventures flowing as we decide where to land next.
