Sunnyvale, Ca, Us

I develop strategies and programs that empower how LinkedIn connects with our communities.In early 2023, I became the leader of Global Workplace Strategic Initiatives after successfully attaching all specific programs I've created or led to other parts of the organization to continue to scale, while continuing to focus on global community affairs in the cities where our largest offices are located.The three accomplishments I'm most proud of in my time at LinkedIn: 1) Creating our Community Development programs including initiating the first tech company affordable housing investment that catalyzed two Mountain View, California, affordable housing communities, an investment concept that was then scaled up by larger peer companies in Silicon Valley and Puget Sound, resulting in thousands of affordable homes now occupied by local families.2) Creating LinkedIn's Global Environmental Sustainability program including successfully advocating LinkedIn take on industry-leading climate commitments of carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030. 3) Land use entitlement strategy and successful development agreement execution for the LinkedIn Middlefield Campus development enabling LinkedIn to develop a cohesive campus. At the time in late 2018, this was the largest land-use entitlement in the city's and the company's history.

Between 2019-2023, in addition to local Government Affairs, Community Development and Environmental Sustainability programs, I was responsible for our Food & Hospitality, Travel, and Commute program strategies and on an interim basis for most of 2020, I served as Workplace Operations Leader for the EMEA & LATAM region. This resulted in all our programs and services evolving to greater sustainability ambitions and finding ways to ensure all programs enhance our local communities. While I was on interim assignment in Ireland overseeing LinkedIn's Workplace Operations for much of 2020, I learned a lot about leadership and resilience having navigated early stages of the pandemic with our regional and global leaders.

In our largest Workplace communities, I focus on local government affairs and creating positive impact to enable our community to thrive. Our team also leads our Enterprise-wide Environmental Sustainability program. We work closely with our Public Policy and Social Impact teams to be part of the solution to our community challenges. Every member of the community deserves to be heard; I'm here to listen and collaborate about how LinkedIn can operate successfully within the community and become a valued neighbor.While in this specific position, my greatest professional accomplishment was navigating our land use strategy to gain land use entitlements for LinkedIn Middlefield campus in Mountain View. At the time in 2018, this was the largest land use entitlement in the city's history.
