Bold plans? Let’s make them happen together.
We are infinitely curious. Passionate in our pursuits. Obsessed with solving people puzzles.
I help smart people make even smarter hiring decisions. Think of me as a strategist, a sounding board, and a source of clarity —helping teams pinpoint who they actually need to succeed; and why.
What do you bring to the table?
As the Founder of Digital Knack, I’ve helped Founders build and scale over 100+ GTM teams over the last decade, bringing immense empathy and expansive perspectives to each encounter. I know what it takes to hire across Seed, Series A, and Series B stages. I’ve led transformative talent strategies for both scrappy startups and large-scale companies, honing a sharp eye for what works—and what doesn’t. My approach? No fluff, no shortcuts—just diligence, smart tools, and long-standing relationships built on trust, integrity, and results. Whether in work or life, I hold myself to a simple standard: deliver value in every interaction.
Why work with you?
Because I don’t just help you hire—I help you see what your hiring says about who you are and where you’re going. I work closely with founders to shape teams that don’t just ‘fit,’ but challenge, grow, and build with you. The insight I bring isn’t just about talent—it’s about timing, readiness, and what your next chapter really needs.
What is your favorite question to ask candidates?
Tell me about a time you had to make a big decision without having all the answers. How did you find the confidence to move forward—and what did you learn in hindsight?
Fun fact:
I’m a Certified Yoga and Breathwork Instructor. Also, a failed gardener that keeps trying (sorry plants).

Strategic Problem Decoder” I have a reputation for “breaking stuff”! I am comfortable wading in uncomfortable waters to break down the problem and identify the real issue when no one is saying it or talking about it. Addressing the real need upfront results in higher velocity and stronger results, with time and effort well spent on what really matters, whether it’s on organizational or operational puzzles.
What do you bring to the table?
A combination of corporate (in-house) and agency recruiting, specializing in Technical / Engineering and Executive hiring spanning early-stage startups to two Fortune 50 companies. This means I know how to build orgs from both inside-out and outside-in across small and hyper-scaled environments. I know hiring successfully is not just about finding the talent: whether it’s having tough conversations with C-suite leaders to help them get out of their own way, putting systems in place where there were none, or knowing what metrics matter – I come with a broad perspective grounded in best-in-class recruiting practices.
Why work with you?
Working with me comes with an open invitation to have fun while learning a lot in the process! Hiring is serious business – there’s a lot at stake for candidates and hiring companies. Knowing we’re at our best when we enjoy the people and the process, I make it my personal mission to lighten the load so that everyone can focus their energy where needed.
What is your favorite question to ask candidates?
…and what did you learn from that?
Fun fact:
I’m the unpaid sommelier at dinners! Guilty of being WSET certified, a Certified Champagne Specialist and self-proclaimed gastronomy enthusiast.
