THE DIRECT ANSWER
At Bambee, I worked across strategy, product, research, and project leadership—turning customer problems into roadmaps, team alignment, and measurable results.
The company started with a small-business problem
Bambee provides HR services and software to small businesses. Its model pairs a company with an HR professional and gives the owner tools for policies, employee issues, training, and related work. The company describes its mission as restoring dignity in employment.
Founder Allan Jones told Forbes that the idea was personal. His father’s small business faced a wrongful-termination lawsuit, showing him how exposed a small employer can be without professional HR support. Jones had previously served as chief marketing officer at ZipRecruiter.
Funding and recognition are part of the public record
Bambee announced a $30 million Series C round in March 2022, bringing its reported total funding to $65 million. The announcement named QED, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Alpha Edison, Greycroft, Mucker Capital, Ken Chenault, Damian Maldonado, and Gaingels among its investors.
The same announcement says Goldman Sachs recognized Jones in 2021 at its Builders + Innovators Summit and that Forbes had included Bambee on its list of America’s Best Startup Employers. Those are company-reported accolades in a public funding announcement, not achievements I am claiming as my own.
My record covers strategy, product, and project work
My LinkedIn history lists a Strategy Analyst role from November 2020 to October 2021, followed by a Project Manager role through November 2021. It records work with engineers, design, sales, service, learning and development, and company leaders.
The entry describes product discovery, onboarding work, customer research, and dashboards built with tools including Salesforce, Google Sheets, Heap, FullStory, Kanban, and Jira. The practical thread is simple: learn where customers get stuck, turn that evidence into a clear plan, and give several teams one view of the work.
The work record includes measurable results
My LinkedIn entry records a four-times increase in platform bookings over seven months and a 20 percent increase in retention connected to strategies and offers I worked on.
The larger lesson is practical: define the customer problem, give the teams one plan, measure what changed, and keep improving the path through the product.

THE LEADERSHIP RECORD
Leadership is built through responsibility
This work is part of my public record because leadership should be grounded in real responsibility—building teams, improving systems, learning how institutions work, and producing results that can be explained clearly.
This article is one part of a larger public record: learning in public, taking responsibility, and preparing for leadership at the highest level.
