Our aim is to help small teams feel as connected as the communities they create - Making the everyday experience of work a little more thoughtful.
FOUNDER
I've spent my career working on small teams, which is where I learned how much the culture of a company can shape the experience of the people inside it.
Alongside is a collection of the things I've always enjoyed most about working: bringing people together, discovering good things, creating thoughtful experiences, organizing the details, and making people feel welcome.
When you work on a small team, everyone has an impact. The founder is often involved in everything. Roles overlap. People wear many hats.
I’ve seen how much thought and energy goes into building a business, while the everyday experience of the people inside it can sometimes become an afterthought. Not because people aren’t valued, but because there are simply many things to do.
That’s where Alongside comes in.
I created Alongside to help small, people-focused businesses take better care of the people who make them work — through thoughtful employee experiences, connection, recognition, wellbeing, community, and the little things that make people feel seen.
I believe small companies have an opportunity to create something really special beyond what they sell: workplaces where people know they matter and are encouraged to be more involved in their local communities.
