Founded in 1995, The Microsoft Alumni Network (MSA) was one of the first social networking platforms established to help Microsoft Alumni stay connected to Microsoft and to each other. Alumni communities are built on the belief that trusted relationships are the most treasured assets of both companies and each of us as individuals. I support MSA's community growth and overall operation and work with Microsoft Recruiting to partner on their alumni re-hire efforts. To learn more, visit our website at www.microsoftalumni.com.

I ran a sole proprietorship so I could be around my sons when they were little. During this time, I provided recruiting and HR bandwidth capacity for public and private high-tech clients, with a specialty toward start-ups. My focus was on strategic HR and recruiting initiatives, recruiting best practices coaching, and the staffing of many hard-to-fill, in-demand staff-level and executive positions. I mainly worked within my network and had many repeat customers and high quality contacts. After many great years working with many great companies, mostly on my own, I stepped away to build something bigger.

Joined this Company in the very early stage "basement days" as a Consultant. I was recruited to join the team in early 2000 and remained a key staff member through the sale to YDI Wireless and relocation of the business in May of 2004. Was promoted 3 times and in the last 2 years of my tenure was a direct report to Dan Hesse, CEO. I held overall strategic and management responsibility for Human Resources, Facilities and Office Administration (and in the last year IT). Led our ISO 9001 certification in support of HR and Administration. We scaled Terabeam from 10 to 500 employees in only 18 months and unfortunately when the bubble burst, had to lay off all but 150 prior to the sale. Several of the first hires I made for the Company remained part of the critical team until the end. I think we'd all agree this was a wild ride and an experience we will all remember.

Recruited and managed 7 recruiters, staffing for Senior Oracle and Microsoft development and management consulting talent.

Real Time Data gave me my first startup and HR management opportunity. I started out as a recruiting consultant and was hired as an employee in May of 1996. This was a start-up focused on providing remote wireless monitoring of units such as vending machines and parking meters to reduce service time. I built and led an HR and Recruiting department and scaled to 300 employees in multiple work locations. I traveled extensively as a key member of the due diligence task force evaluating companies for potential acquisition. The office was later relocated to Pennsylvania and I choose to stay in Seattle. This first start-up job was formative for me and influenced my life long love of startups.
