ABOUT ELISSA GREENFIELD
I\'m a People Ops leader who builds. Over the past several years, I\'ve joined early-stage tech startups, often as the founding or sole People hire, and built the infrastructure that lets teams grow: performance management frameworks, total rewards and compensation programs, equity workflows, relocation policies, and more.I\'m comfortable with the messiness of 0-to-1 work: ambiguous org structures, distributed and global teams, fast-moving environments where the playbook doesn\'t exist yet. As the sole People leader, that\'s also meant operating at every altitude, partnering with the CEO on people strategy one day, and coaching a manager through a difficult conversation the next. My background spans crypto-native protocols and traditional tech startups, which has made me equally at home with novel org structures and standard HR fundamentals.I care about the craft of People Ops, getting the systems right so that great talent can do their best work.
