I am a Strategic Partnerships Manager at LinkedIn, which operates the world’s largest professional network on the internet with more than 450 million members in over 200 countries and territories.
I manage enterprise level relationships at a wide variety of firms ranging from Fortune 500 companies to AmLaw 100 firms to startups. My clients are typically in industries being disrupted by technology and focused on harnessing the power of social media networks to achieve challenging business goals.
I work with Partners, Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief Marketing Officers and progressive Recruiting teams, among others. My teams and I create solutions that allow LinkedIn’s clients to measure impact of technology on their business goals and
develop solid Return on Investment cases.
Prior to joining LinkedIn, I worked in strategy consulting, executive search and brand management. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from The University of California, Berkeley, and a Masters in Business Administration from The Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.
I am a global nomad who was born in the smallest country on mainland Africa (The Gambia), and grew up in Africa and Europe. I lived or worked in over 15 countries, speak three languages fluently, and love spending time with my family and on the soccer pitch.
I am based out of LinkedIn’s Washington D.C. and New York City offices.
