Bio

👋🏾 I create communities, products and content for underestimated leaders. Hustle Crew is my main venture: a diversity-in-tech community that turns insight into inclusion education for employers. I have professional experience in growth and product roles at leading tech companies like Product Hunt, HotelTonight (acquired by Airbnb), Amazon and Groupon. Most recently I served as Brandwatch's first ever Global Vice President of Community & Belonging from 2020-2022. I'm also the co-host of Apple Podcasts' Top 20 tech podcast, Techish, part of the HubSpot podcast network. In my free time I love to write, my careers guide 'Dream Big. Hustle Hard: The Millennial Woman's Guide to Success in Tech' is available on Amazon.com with 5-star reviews. You can also read my articles in publications like Bloomberg and The Financial Times.
