Kristen finds purpose in helping people grow as individuals, on teams, and as part of something bigger than themselves. Since joining Aileron, she has brought curiosity, care, and a deep sense of connection to her work, helping to build a culture where people can do their best work and feel deeply valued.
As Director of People & Organizational Development, Kristen leads the design of human-centered systems that balance performance and well-being. Her leadership supports Aileron’s mission to strengthen both people and organizations, empowering each person to thrive while ensuring the whole system flourishes.
Grounded, empathetic, and a little bit goofy, Kristen leads with warmth and authenticity. She’s known for her ability to connect with others, see their potential, and help them grow toward it.
Kristen and her husband, Jason, live in Ohio with their two young sons, Michael and John. They love spending time with their large extended families in Cincinnati and Cleveland and cheering on their alma maters: Ohio University and Miami University.
Whether at work or at home, Kristen believes growth happens through connection and when people feel seen, supported, and inspired to bring their full selves to what they do.
