My experience contradicts the opinion that in order to grow professionally, you bounce often in your career. I don’t disagree, but I chose a different path to experiment with and that was to stay. The "staying" taught me lessons in the power of transformation at personal and entrepreneurial levels. Over the course of a decade+, I helped open two US offices in NYC and LA. In response to the ever-evolving marketing landscape, I reinvented myself across various leadership positions while working with world class creatives, designers, tech leaders, and CEOs. I designed the role of Director of People Operations to focus on the health of our company culture by recruiting diverse talent, expanding the People Ops Team, co-writing the company’s first ever parental leave policy, overhauling company-wide performance reviews and coaching leaders on feedback and transparency. All during a pandemic. Also, I didn’t do any of this alone.
