Team building and leadership have always been at the core of my professional journey. As a Product Owner at Lokate Partners, I founded the company and led the development of interconnected SaaS products, fostering a culture of collaboration among cross-functional teams. My role as CMO at Home Helpers of Arkansas allowed me to manage and mentor high-performing teams, significantly enhancing productivity and sales performance through strategic guidance and support. During my time at Collective Bias, I played a crucial role in scaling the team to over 150 employees, implementing effective hiring and training programs that not only built a strong workforce but also cultivated a positive work environment. I truly believe that strong leadership stems from empowerment and open communication, and I strive to create spaces where team members can thrive and contribute their best work.
