Don't take my word for it.

Jane taught me a lot about what a People Ops leader could do for a business. More than just about any other leader in our company, she had a hugely positive impact on those around her.

Much of that was from direct coaching. Jane quickly became a trusted confidant for everyone on our leadership team, and she helped each person work through the most difficult challenges they faced. Departures, hires, reorgs, strategy pivots, personal challenges, you name it. Jane was everyone's first call, not because it was required, but because people knew they'd get value from talking to Jane.

Jane is particularly good at building people up and helping them see their own strengths. Not in a fluffy way, but in a deep way that allows people to confidently step into their leadership, make difficult decisions, and live up to more of their true potential.

Jane was VP of People at Propel for 3 years and had incredible impact on our management culture and leadership effectiveness.

Jane built a manager training program that was enormously valuable for new managers, giving them the skills and confidence to invest in their teams, coach their highest performers, and work through challenges, all while maintaining a healthy relationship to work and navigating the stress of leadership roles in a dynamic startup environment.

What made her most effective was her ability to build deeply trusting relationships with people at all levels of the company, while never losing sight of the business needs and constraints. Jane is an excellent coach and advisor, and any leader will be lucky to work with her.

As the COO at Wistia, I worked with Jane for 4+ years. She joined at a pivotal time in Wistia's growth and quickly emerged as a highly valued and trusted partner for the co-founders, myself, and the rest of the Senior Management team. Incredibly thoughtful, Jane was the unique Head of People with both sharp business acumen and empathy.

Jane played an instrumental role in growing, strengthening, and maturing Wistia as an organization, positioning us to better compete as our core market became more competitive and new market opportunities opened up for us. She helped transform Wistia's nice, collaborative culture into a kind, collaborative, performance-oriented one, while still retaining the essence of Wistia's unique culture.

During her tenure, we also had to navigate a number of very challenging situations: shifting from in-person to remote-first virtually overnight, difficult leadership transitions, layoffs. Jane's thoughtfulness and empathy helped us navigate these in ways that positioned the business for success while also deeply caring for the people affected.

In our time working together, Jane became one of my trusted partners. She was always someone I could turn to if I needed an empathetic ear, a sounding board, or a thought partner to work through a difficult situation. I saw her play this same role for folks across Wistia. Her empathy, thoughtfulness, and business acumen strengthened Wistia and helped me personally become a better leader and manager.
