## Work Experience
### Compensation @ Ramp
Jan 2025 – Present | New York, United States
Ramp is the leading AI-powered finance platform — valued at $32B, growing nearly 4× in two years, and expanding from spend management into the modern finance stack.

I own compensation at Ramp — strategy, philosophy, and operations across cash and equity programs. I shape how we think about rewarding performance, structuring roles, and retaining top talent — and build the systems and agents to execute that vision at scale. CEO-2 role.

### Strategy Consulting @ McKinsey & Company
Jan 2018 – Jan 2025 | United States
Led high-stakes transformation programs delivering $1B+ in impact, while jet-setting across North America and Europe to work directly with senior leaders at some of the world’s biggest companies. Managed and coached teams of 10+ consultants and experts, driving alignment across complex organizations and turning strategy into execution. Known for a fast operating tempo, developing people quickly, and staying calm and solutions-oriented in high-pressure environments.

Exit at Senior Manager (Sr EM). Business Analyst (BA) Class of 2018.

### People & Talent Leader @ McKinsey & Company
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | North America
As Chief of Staff of McKinsey’s North America Talent Attraction org, I drove strategy and daily operations for McKinsey’s recruiting function, managing hiring across thousands of roles in multiple regions and levels—more than doubling our usual recruitment volume.

I helped manage an organization of 200+ recruiters, led headcount modeling, goal setting, and distribution, and tracked KPIs and operating expenses closely alongside finance. I also streamlined org structure and tackled operational challenges.

Focused on delivering practical solutions that powered efficient growth and optimized talent acquisition.
