BEHIND THE SCENES
I'm Courtney.
hi there,
I've spent my career in the strange optimism of tech. Growing up I expected to be a poet, yet found myself drawn to the glow of what if.
What if we could help people find love?
What if we helped people save time?
What if data privacy was valued?
Even my work as a Head of Culture & People was ruled by what if. Every wacky idea was followed by how could I? Along the way these odd programs won so many awards that I lost count at 103.
One day, I finally pondered, what if...I could have a bigger impact than one company at a time? That's why I started consulting & coaching and cofounded EverMore. The high of what if.
So now, I want to work with people chasing the what if tech was ethical and kind.
If that's you, book an intro call.
xoxo, Courtney

bits & bobs
I studied english, philosophy, history, & art in college, which is a good peek into my brain.
I have a niche in startup culture design & people ops.
Nicknames include Court & Tamer of Chaos
I like dark comedies and satire—think Heathers & Vonnegut novels.
I thought I was psychic as a kid, but I’m just good at pattern-matching.
