Since moving on from Stax, what new directions has your career taken? 

I joined ProfitSolv as the VP of Product Market Strategy, a cross-functional role where I’ve been focusing on optimizing our product positioning across key legal cloud solutions. In this role, I have the opportunity to collaborate closely with marketing, sales, and customer success teams.

How did working at Stax prepare you for the challenges and opportunities in your current role?

Working at Stax was instrumental in honing my critical thinking skills. It taught me to take a data-driven approach to decision-making and, equally important, how to ask the right questions to uncover deeper insights. I also learned to step back and see the big picture, ensuring that my decisions align with broader strategic goals. These skills are essential in my current role at ProfitSolv, where I strive to make a meaningful impact every day.

If you were to give advice to current Stax employees, what would you recommend they focus on to advance their careers?

If I could give advice to current Stax employees, I’d recommend focusing on understanding the value you bring to clients. Recognize that your insights and perspectives are valued. Network with clients; building strong relationships can expand your professional network and lead to new opportunities down the line.

What’s a surprising hobby or interest you’ve picked up since leaving Stax?

Since leaving Stax, I’ve learned to prioritize taking time for myself, which has been really refreshing. I’ve explored a variety of hobbies and activities. Each one has allowed me to unwind and it’s been great to step outside my usual routine!
