Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Technology, HR, & Legal
Colorado, United States
I'm a seasoned Chief Administrative and People Officer with more than a decade of experience helping private equity-backed and venture-scaled technology companies align people, operations, and technology to accelerate enterprise performance and value creation. As a trusted advisor to CEOs, executive teams, and private equity sponsors, I've led organizations through periods of hypergrowth, transformation, M&A integration, cost optimization, and go-to-market evolution, translating business strategy into scalable operating models and measurable results.
At Scaled Agile, Inc., I lead People, Technology, IT & Security, and Legal, partnering closely with leaders to align enterprise strategy, organizational capability, and execution. I've played a key role in evolving the company's operating model, strengthening organizational effectiveness, and positioning the business for its next stage of growth.
Prior to Scaled Agile, I served as Chief People Officer for multiple venture- and private equity-backed technology companies, where I built high-performing organizations, scaled international workforces, led people integration across multiple acquisitions, and supported business transformation during periods of rapid growth and change. Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles within large-scale retail and healthcare organizations, providing a broad operational foundation that informs my enterprise-level approach today.
My leadership philosophy centers on vulnerability-based trust, transparency, accountability, and high performance. I hold a Master's in Business Administration as well as advanced certifications in conversation facilitation, leadership assessment, and AI-Native agile transformation. My leadership contributions have been recognized externally, including being named a CHRO of the Year finalist and receiving recognition as HRO Magazine's Distinguished Leader of the Year. In my free time, I support several nonprofits and serve on the board of the Morgan Adams Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research.
