About Emma Holland
They call me the \"people\'s champion.\"In 2019, as our startup was being acquired by the EdTech juggernaut, Chegg, our Head of People reached out to say they saw me as a champion for our staff. This is a compliment I carried highly, as they had just hired me two years prior and watched my career grow. Give me a puzzle to solve and let\'s get creative. Whether it be a sudden increase of customer churn, a new experiment that needs clearer performance metrics before launch, or a process breakdown that has P&L all out of whack, put me in the middle. I\'ll investigate and pull together a team of stakeholders to deliver on a solution. As an operations leader, I push for scalable solutions and work to mend communication breakdowns, acquire change management buy-in, maintain stakeholder relationships, organize project delivery, and maintain strategic program management. I can help you build something from scratch. From launching a self-sustaining community of clients in a new locale, strategic partnerships for channel marketing and client retention, or building new departments due to operational need - I can do it and have done it. I\'ll build your team charter, organize your metrics for success, and start those necessary relationships with industry leaders.🤝 I\'m your \"dot connector.\" From volunteering as a community development mentor for the Portland Incubator Experience (PIE), sitting on the leadership team for the national nonprofit Out in Tech, and volunteering as a monthly event lead for Portland Women in Tech (PDXWIT) I\'m no stranger to the stage. I\'ll speak in front of your crowds, help bring together the right groups and businesses for common events, and encourage leaders toward organizational equity for all of their staff.Can\'t wait to see what we can do together next.
