Who You’ll Work With

For twenty years, I sat on the other side of the table.

As a recruiter and talent strategist, I watched a pattern repeat itself constantly. High-performing leaders, heads down and focused on corporate objectives, not thinking about their own careers until a reorg or a RIF forced the conversation. Executives who could articulate their company's differentiators with precision but couldn't name their own. People leaving their career narratives in the hands of others and wondering why they felt stuck.

The resource they needed didn't exist. Agency recruiters are paid by the companies that hire them. Corporate recruiters are looking for very specific people for very specific roles. Neither is cultivating talent or thinking about your long-term career optionality. Almost no one is.

That gap is why I built Seat 1A Advisors.

I bring twenty years of experience at the intersection of talent strategy and personal visibility. Part talent strategist, part publicist — I was trained in PR and it shows in how I think about positioning, narrative, and getting the right people to pay attention to the right people. I have scaled a company from startup to publicly traded, guided talent into organizations like Goldman Sachs and High West Distillery, and mentored leaders into roles they weren't sure were within reach.

What I know from all of it is this: the most accomplished professionals are often the most underleveraged. The work is exceptional, and still, the people who decide what comes next can't see it. Strategic visibility fixes that. It is the deliberate work of making your impact legible to the right people, so the right opportunities reach the right person at the right time.

That is the work I do. And I'd love to do it for you.

I'm fueled by curiosity, live music, and good podcasts. I serve on the Girl Scouts of Utah Board of Directors, where I focus on board recruitment and development. I believe visibility is a service to others, not just yourself. When you step into your next chapter with confidence, someone else is watching and finding permission to do the same.
