Span is a passion project, it's the tool we wish we'd had in previous roles - one that automates away busywork, improves decisionmaking, and helps fight against the forces that make R&D teams slow as they grow. We're growing quickly and we're hiring; if you’re interested in joining us, please shoot a brief note to careers@span.app

Most recently, I spent five years at Lattice before transitioning into an advisory role. Lattice helps companies align, engage and grow their employees. As COO, I supported our business teams – sales, marketing, customer experience, analytics, operations, finance and HR. As President & CPO, I supported our engineering, product and design organizations. During my tenure, we grew from 1M to >100M in ARR, 28M to 3B valuation, >60 NPS, >120% NDR, burn multiple <1.25 and earned Best Place to Work awards by Fortune and Glassdoor. I’ve also had the pleasure of serving as an angel and/or advisor to 40 startups, four of which have gone on to become unicorns with several others on their way.

Prior to Lattice, I was GM and VP at Zenefits, where I built, launched and scaled the payroll business before leading company operations. I had previously co-founded and led Ceiba College Prep, a nonprofit public charter school that prepares historically under-resourced students for success in college and life.

Technology is once again magic. While I have experience directly managing large (500+) person teams across GTM, EPD, as well as G&A, I've always felt most fulfilled when making new and impactful things with people that I enjoy and admire. Come join us!
