Startup Chief Operating Officer
“Ashley was instrumental in building much of the Company’s internal infrastructure from the ground up. She is comfortable with ambiguity but also has an eye for where and how processes can be implemented in order to provide more structure and direction. She is skilled at managing cross-functional projects that involve collaborating with many stakeholders, internal and external, and at all levels. She is also simply a great person to work with, and I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside her.”

Startup Chief People Officer
Ashley and I worked together for over four years, during which she proved to be an invaluable asset to our team—a true "Swiss Army knife," continually reinventing her value with every twist and turn the business took. Leveraging her expertise in organizational development, Ashley seamlessly navigates complex strategic challenges, parses business objectives and constraints, and implements effective solutions, all with her signature empathetic and inclusive style.
One of her standout achievements was designing our People Team KPI framework, integrating data with business realities and clearly communicating its value to the broader employee base. Her strategic vision, thoughtful attention to detail, and exceptional communication skills consistently drive positive outcomes. I highly recommend Ashley as a strategic thinker, effective problem solver, and dedicated team player who will bring significant impact to any organization.
