Bio

Carly brings thoughtful organization, deep care, next-level excitement to each of her projects. She was my PM on two client projects, and I was consistently impressed by her genuine desire to understand and improve products, processes, and her professional skill set. She led our team through two successful project launches - facilitating engaging and effective workshops, resolving and finding blockers, and navigating ambuigity and many stakeholders. Carly was absolutely integral in building a cohesive and collaborative team dynamic amist short timelines with a roster of differing perspectives and many newer hires. Carly is full of initiative and creative solutions while being a true team player. If you aim to build a great culture and product, she's an incredible add.

Carly is a dreamer, a thinker, and a doer with a "team first," full-hearted approach that sets her apart. As a fellow Product Manager working in parallel with her on our separate projects, she's taught me so much about creating goals and going for them with every ounce of energy, showing up in big ways with compassion for our teammates, standing up for our values in the face of opposition, being willing to ask questions and be vulnerable...and hands down she makes the coolest, most useful Miro boards for BIG TIME collaboration. Carly's exactly the person you want to captain your ship: I watched her weather a storm on a project that was up against short deadlines, stick with her team through long nights and weekend hours when they were rallying around crossing the finish line, and then set out to review and revise to allow for smoother sailing going forward. She's willing to ask the hard questions, create the plan, and automate any processes she can along the way. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her in any capacity will be very fortunate indeed.
