People & Recruiting consulting for serious startups.
Your People & Talent functions can, and should, provide real, compounding leverage during the critical early period of growth.
Who I am
👋 I'm McKenna.
For the last 10 years, I’ve architected and led the People & Recruiting functions at startups growing from ~10 to 1,000 employees, including Plaid, Cruise and Meter. Prior to this, I worked for ~8 years at Coatue, one of the most successful tech-focused hedge funds.
I’m obsessed with how small groups of people can do unbelievably big things. I'm passionate about helping startups build cultures and systems that scale. And I’m keen to help companies avoid common (and costly) function-building mistakes. You can learn more about me here.
What I do
I work with a small number of select startups to provide high touch, high quality, and high impact People & Recruiting consulting. I do both general advisory and project-specific work. More here.
