Competitive swimming made me obsessed with time management.

Years of 5am practices and fitting homework around training schedules taught me how to make every hour count. I still approach my schedule like I’m trying to shave seconds off a race time.

I believe the people you hire matter more than anything else you’ll do.

I’ve watched teams succeed or fail based almost entirely on whether they had the right people. In my experience, getting that decision right is worth whatever time it takes, and helping those people thrive is job number two.

Many different hats, always people first.

I’m laser focused on the human aspect: who is this person in front of me, what drives them, how can I help them communicate, and what do they need to succeed?
