About

I’m a big believer that companies can be a force for good, for their people, communities, and the planet, and it starts with fostering a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and challenged to grow.

I'm the co-founder of Canopy, a platform helping employees report misconduct and psychosocial concerns, and helping businesses resolve and prevent them from happening again.

I love chatting about all things start-ups, impact, and equity - so feel free to connect and reach out ☕
