Hello! My name is Leah (lay-uh, like the Princess). 👋🏼
People & Talent Strategic Leader
I'm passionate about cultivating high-performing teams comprised of great humans. I've spent the last nine years building out the People function (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Business Partners, People Ops) at Help Scout, where I was the 25th hire. Today, we're a team of 140.
I currently serve as the VP of People overseeing our mighty team of seven. I especially love:
Building high performing teams and performance management processes
Creating dynamic, effective hiring processes that identify top talent
Remote work best practices
Employer branding
Culture and engagement
Diversity, equity, & inclusion
Video production
Why yes, I would love to speak at your conference/event/panel/podcast/company!
I’ve given a plethora of talks on all things recruiting, DEI, and remote company culture in a variety of settings and formats. Reach out if you’d like to work together!
Some podcasts I’ve been on:
