Chief of Staff

We have been using a disciplined approach to compensation since the start. We believe this is the only way to create a consistent, strategic, and equitable compensation structure. That in turn unlocks healthy growth for our organization. We build our range with benchmarking data for the particular role from Pave.com - because Pave hooks into HRIS, they have the most accurate data for early-stage companies. We decide any given hire's offer based on three factors: first among them, expected performance in the role (based on performance in the interview process and proximity of experience); as well as seniority (amount of relevant experience); and location (different cost of living).

Our first company, Moxie, is on a tear, helping hundreds of nurses turn into entrepreneurs by helping them launch, run, and grow their own medspa. We’re in the midst of building company #2 (Meadow) and eager to keep that momentum going.
