Keara began her accounting career at Daily Harvest, where she helped build out the back office of a fast-growing startup. She later moved into corporate accounting at the largest online music retailer in the U.S., navigating the complexity of large-scale operations.

Keara joined Hiline with 10+ years background in customer service and a passion for business analytics. Though she didn't come to her role as Head of People Services through a traditional HR path, her experiences have uniquely positioned her to bring fresh, strategic thinking to people operations. She is a systems thinker who thrives in the messy middle where people, processes, and data meet, with a focus on operational strategy, process improvement, and client experience.
