For the past dozen years, I’ve been obsessed with the world of work and careers. Companies hire me to find exceptional talent and to learn how to find "needle in a haystack" talent. Mid-career and early-career professionals hire me to help them secure jobs that are a strong fit for their skills and aspirations. I went through the NYC public school system as an immigrant (born in Ukraine) and was fortunate to have many people and organizations help me. I am grateful to have a chance to give back. At Greylock, I worked with early-career talent (Engineer/Product/Design), chief of staff candidates, operations hires, and talent/people professionals (head of talent, head of people, recruiters). I connected with technical student entrepreneurs starting software businesses and ran several early-career talent networks. Prior to Greylock, I worked at Lerer Hippeau, an earlier stage VC fund and managed talent networks, community, and events. In addition to working in VC and with startups, I worked at two leading universities, Stanford and Columbia. I managed the internship component of Stanford University's New York program, focusing on student career advising, professional development, employer relations, and alumni engagement. At Columbia, I supported graduate students through career coaching and developed employer relations with target employers. Helping connect companies to top talent and hearing how those relationships flourish brings me joy!
