Tara Nesser

With experience at hyper-growth technology startups in roles such as Director of Talent Strategy, Head of Training and Development and Head of People, as well as previous leadership and executive roles in talent acquisition and development, I’ve been there.  I’ve seen how investment in the right people can result in productivity, creativity, and efficacy gains. But I’ve also seen emerging leaders struggle, and in turn startups fail. 

Passionate about people development, I founded Level Up to help tech startups move through various stages of growth by keeping their people central to their culture and development, and therefore, their success.

Level Up is uniquely positioned to help new founders, leaders and managers develop both a high-achieving mindset and the fundamental skills to build best in class teams and businesses.I’ve seen the power of people first hand, and have experienced the success that can be achieved when people are genuinely motivated to work together.
