Worked with the good folks at Lever to get Crosschq added to their DEI Tech Stack blog post.

Bias-free hiring is part of Crosschq's mission, and part of our DNA. We teamed up with Lever to share just how important it is that reference checks be conducted fairly, and how Crosschq's 360 product puts DEI at the center of our reference check features.

"To ensure reference checks are conducted fairly, questions should be asked of each reference in the same format and focused on the skills and attributes that are relevant and essential to the specific job."

Made an intro between two companies who are building their integration marketplaces. Out of this intro, found a marketing opportunity for Crosschq. I love how partnerships are truly relationship building timelines—some of my strongest partnerships, I've taken from company to company with me.

Yesterday I put up my first Shopify store! The American Fizz store has stickers, mugs, masks, and soon—hoodies and shirts with custom designs for wine lovers, focusing on supporting our local wine community. 15% of all sales will go to support The Two Eighty Project, helping POC & LGBTQ+ folks find opportunities in winemaking.

This is partially another way for me to work with my passion for local wine, and partially to better understand the e-commerce space as a user. I'm excited to get more designs out there, use this untapped part of my creative brain (learning Procreate has been fun!), and better understand the intricacies of running a Shopify centered business. 

It's hard to believe, but today is my last day at HubSpot. When I joined HubSpot 3.5 years ago, I had one goal—to learn as much as I possibly could about partner marketing. It's been an amazing ride, and I've worked on some really forward thinking projects with some of the hardest working and most empathetic people in the biz.

Next week, I'm starting as Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Crosschq. This company is a rocket ship with a deeply ingrained mission. Through their talent intelligence cloud, their analytics software, and reference check tools, they're helping companies build diverse teams with candidates that are supported for growth. Want to partner with us? You know where to find me.

Excited to join Crosschq as Head of Business Development and Partnerships! 🎉
