A cowgirl of the electric age. Locally world famous. Takes self very seriously.

When I was 12, I ran away in my aunt’s sailboat. I was back in an hour because I didn’t know how to sail and crashed. When I was 18, I took a sailing lesson, hit a buoy and had a startled sea lion roll into my boat. Now I work exclusively on land.

I am the VP of Corporate Marketing at Sigma, where I am responsible for Demand Generation, Brand, Content, and Communications.

I have also been the…

  • VP of Marketing at developer tools company Hiro.

  • Director of Brand and Creative Marketing at Amplitude, where I led the teams responsible for creating compelling stories and experiences.

  • Director of Brand Marketing at GitHub pre-and-post Microsoft acquiring it

  • Head of Developer Marketing at Stack Overflow

When I’m not doing any of that, I’ve found even more ways to jenga my calendar by serving as a community organizer for a humanist camp for kids and a student journalist alumni group. (On that note, if you also got your start in life by sleeping on the couches of The Daily Nexus, you should join our alum group.) If you’re still not sure where you recognize me from, it may be from some of my community organizing work in the past — I used to be the cheerful curator and director (along with Seth Blank and Dave Nugent) of the first WeWork Labs outside of NYC. We searched for plucky young startups that wanted help growing up and growing big. We also chose and produced events for the space including demo nights, developer lecture series, hackathons, startup legal advice presentations, and even my own (not active any more) Meetup group, SF Nightowls.

I am luckily quite busy with life, but I don’t mind chatting with nice people about their favorite things and problems I can solve. I like you.
