Background

About Nicole Ledoux

From coffee delivery partnerships at Postmates to architecting people systems across Series A-C startups, I've spent my career turning chaos into clarity in the 0-1 startup world. My superpower? Building the foundations that help companies scale - whether that's designing their first engineering career framework, utilizing AI to streamline workflows, establishing SOC2-compliant processes, or creating engaging remote-first cultures that actually work.I'm known for being the person who gets things done while keeping the human element front and center. My track record includes scaling international teams by 177%, leading companies through successful acquisitions, and consistently achieving 95%+ participation in culture initiatives (yes, even at startups!).Currently leading People at Nabis (backed by YC), the leading cannabis wholesale platform. Previously was the founding People person at Pulley and Scanwell Health (Backed by YC, Founders Fund) and Beam Impact (Index Ventures) to build their foundations for scale.What drives me: Creating systems that scale, fostering inclusive cultures where people thrive, and building high-performing teams that deliver results while having fun along the way. I believe in shine theory, data-driven decisions, and the power of a well-timed company offsite (4.8/5 satisfaction scores don't lie!).Outside of scaling startups, you'll find me exploring cities, getting lost in books, watching F1, running trails, or adventuring with my dog Canela.
