Katelyn created The Crossway Co. in 2022, knowing how difficult it is for new companies to create a sound HR strategy, hire talent, and set-up the right operating model, all while running a business. With ever-evolving ways to accommodate how and where people work, the market has become extremely competitive to hire and retain exceptional talent. Katelyn will help you solve those challenges.
At The Crossway Co. Katelyn works with start-up founders and business owners, VC firms, and C-suite execs to understand their business & people needs at the early stages of their company’s growth. She is relentless in finding exactly who they require to drive revenue and scale. She provides tailored strategic direction, hands-on execution to build a lasting HR infrastructure, and is available to consult as the business changes. Katelyn’s experience and vast network has given her the capabilities to support and stand-up new and growing businesses.
