I've built my career by walking into the spaces others haven't figured out yet. A startup we wanted to grow.

A product that needed a path to market. A platform that needed a partner robust ecosystem. In each case, the job was the same: make sense of the complexity, connect the right people to the right problems, and build something that actually matters. At Klaviyo, that looks like leading global product partnerships; designing the technology partner program, launching the app marketplace, and driving the strategic partner business development that helps us grow through our ecosystem. Before this, I led platform expansion at Klaviyo, ran a 50-person sales engineering org at Smartsheet, and helped scale 10,000ft from pre-launch through to its acquisition. I'm drawn to the hard, undefined problems. I find energy in building something new, think in systems, and have a strong instinct for the people side of things — not just who should be in the room, but who should be leading which part of it, and what they need to do their best work. If something's unclear and needs to get built, I'm usually the person who wants to figure it out.
