Today is day one at Buffer 😊

Yet somehow it doesn't feel like day one at all.

I've spent the last five years in conversation with the operators of the best distributed companies in the world. Buffer has been a reference point for all of us the entire time. The intentionality of how they communicate. The default to transparency. The care they put into the happiness of both their customers and their team.

Joining today feels less like starting a job and more like stepping inside a company I've been learning from for years. And it's such a great feeling! 💙

I'm joining the team as their Senior Operations & Automations Specialist - a role that feels like the one I've been quietly preparing for without knowing it.

My career has been squiggly and unconventional, but there was always a thread underneath: in every role, I was the person quietly building systems in the background to make the work calmer, more thoughtful, easier on the humans doing it.

And the timing feels right.

AI is reshaping how teams actually operate. Getting to be on the inside of that at Buffer - a place that has always thought carefully about how work works - feels like exactly where I want to be!

From the outside for five years. Now from the inside.

So happy to be here and so grateful to Carolyn Kopprasch and Jenna Meindertsma for opening the door. 💛

I’m thrilled to announce I haven’t commuted to an office in 10 years.
Still waiting for productivity to collapse.

This week, I’m closing a chapter leading the Running Remote community for the past 5 years.

It’s a bittersweet moment, and one I’ve been reflecting on a lot.

Because this was never just a role. It was a front-row seat to how the best remote companies actually operate, real operators sharing what works (and what doesn’t).

One thing always stood out:
The real value was never the content. It is the PEOPLE showing up for each other. EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The generosity here, the openness, the willingness to share what’s actually going on behind the scenes, the way people consistently show up for each other - that’s not something you find everywhere!

I’m incredibly grateful for every conversation, every mastermind session, every insight shared - but more than anything, for meeting all of you.

This next step for me (joining a People Ops team at another remote company - more soon) is, in many ways, a reflection of everything I’ve learned from all of you!

Thank you for making this such a special part of my journey 💛

I’m staying close, still learning, still contributing.

But today - just grateful.
