I studied psychology thinking I'd become a therapist. Then a student job in recruitment turned out to be my first real sales role - different job, same skill: listening for what people actually want and and figuring out if what I have fits.

I spent three years at Unleash, working my way up to leading a team of 14 BDRs - building pipeline, bringing in customers, and learning what makes people reply. Today I'm the first GTM hire and part of the founding team at a cybersecurity startup in the insider threat space, still in stealth. What drew me to this space is that it sits between two worlds: cybersecurity, which is a fascinating field on its own, and human behavior - the most interesting thing there is to work on. Happy to be building in it, and always glad to talk with anyone who finds it interesting too.
