About Jillian Delvecchio

I’m a People Operations leader with a deep background in early-stage companies and small business environments, where building from scratch, adapting quickly, and wearing multiple hats isn’t optional — it’s the job. My work has always centered around creating structure, clarity, and culture in dynamic, fast-moving teams.I got my start in the food and hospitality world, where I learned the value of community, service, and process. That foundation shaped how I lead today: with empathy, hustle, and a commitment to systems that serve both people and business needs.Across startups in climate tech and beyond, I’ve led people ops, office and event management, and organizational development efforts — building programs that scale, teams that thrive, and cultures that last. I\'m most energized by environments where values and mission aren\'t just slogans, but part of the daily operating rhythm.I\'m currently exploring my next role in climate tech or environmental sustainability, ideally at a company where people, purpose, and process work together to drive real impact.
