When evaluating which new markets to enter next, at Reforge we used this decision-making matrix to structure the conversation around each option and the relevant decision-making factors.

I used this update for Series B investors not on the Reforge board to share company highlights, asks, and things I wanted to note when looking ahead to the company's roadmap.

At Reforge, I wrote this monthly update in June 2022 to transparently share major happenings, metrics compared to plan, and other thoughts with the whole team.

I created this canvas early in Reforge's history to document hypotheses, focus efforts, and structure the chaos of the early days.

As Reforge grew to the size where I needed a Chief of Staff, I began my search by holding informational interviews with Chiefs of Staff at other companies. I used these learnings to inform the job description and interview activities.

After holding informational interviews with Chiefs of Staff I designed this job description to find the ideal COS for Reforge. I put a unique spin on the JD to appeal to the best candidates.

I gave this exercise to each person interviewing for Chief of Staff. To get the best insights on each candidate, I create exercises that match challenges they will encounter on the job and send them in advance so they can prepare.

As part of my research to hire Reforge’s first VP of People, I created this MOC (Mission Outcomes Competency) to provide a clear picture of the skills, thinking, and experience we wanted in our ideal candidate.

I created this job description for our first VP of People to differentiate Reforge from the competition while ensuring that candidates knew exactly what the role would require.

As Reforge was scaling 2x, finding the right VP of People was critical. A rigorous interview process let us drill down on all the areas where we needed greatness, while also screening out candidates early on to save time and effort.

In this artifact I break down about how I use a pre-board meeting note to the board as an effective tool to shape the conversation leading into the upcoming meeting, focusing on (brutal) honesty and transparency.

With this artifact I demonstrate how and why we created company values at Reforge.
