I’m drawn to work at the intersection of people, technology, and meaningful problems.

Over the last fifteen years, I’ve built and led teams across startups and large organizations, working in environments that were multicultural, distributed, and often in moments of change. Across those experiences, I became less interested in technology for its own sake and more focused on the human dynamics that determine whether technology actually works in practice.

Again and again, I saw that progress was rarely blocked by a lack of capability. It was blocked by misalignment — people interpreting the same information differently based on context, culture, hierarchy, and unspoken assumptions. Over time, I became the person teams relied on to help translate across those differences and restore clarity, trust, and momentum.

My background spans product, design, and leadership, and I’ve spent much of my career creating environments where people can do their best work together. I care deeply about psychological safety, thoughtful communication, and building systems that respect human judgment rather than replace it.

I’ve founded companies, led global product and innovation organizations, and contributed to multiple patented systems in enterprise software and user experience. Those experiences have shaped how I think about scale: not just as growth, but as the ability to preserve understanding as complexity increases.

I live in Oakland, California with my husband, Benjamin, and our two dogs, Chapin and Dalton.
