Hi! Iโm Mary.
I work in early-stage People Ops and Talent, currently as Head of Talent and Partner Success at Elpha.
I also think, write, and talk a lot about pay transparency.
A lilโ more about Mary
Back in 2013, I shared my salary publicly for the first time. Not just with my team at Buffer or some close friends but with everyone on the internet. ๐
Over 9 years of scaling People Ops at early-stage startups, Iโve navigated the nuance required for salary transparency and supported a paradigm shift from exposing numbers to putting in structure to reduce bias and pay inequity.
During my time at Elpha, Iโve also learned how important it is for companies to do the work to eliminate pay gaps. So, I create content and advise startups on how to introduce pay transparency to their team.
