Leadership

Building teams that stay

More than half of my staff have been with me for over five years. That is part of the business story worth telling.

The people are part of what you build.

More than half of my staff have been with me for over five years. When I think about what I’ve built, those relationships belong in the picture alongside the businesses.

Taking a risk can start a company. Keeping people involved, working through problems, and continuing to show up are part of what follows.

A builder’s instinct. An ongoing responsibility.

My first ventures were small: selling bow-and-arrow lessons at four, working to buy a mop and selling it at six. In high school, I developed summer camps and afterschool curriculum with the Enrichment Project.

The scale changed as I moved into business. The instinct to create something remained, along with a growing appreciation for the people it takes to build and operate it.

What I bring to Overcy.

The same perspective shapes Overcy. I want technology to support the team, help a business follow through, and make more room for human connection.

The next chapter brings together the work of building a business and backing the people who make it possible.
