Lucy Stein is VP of People at Givebutter, a fully remote fundraising platform with a team distributed across 14 states. She has built Givebutter’s people function from the ground up, overseeing talent acquisition, culture, and operations for a team that has scaled significantly while staying fully remote.
Her work is grounded in the practical realities of remote-first growth: how to hire well across geographies, how to onboard people who will never meet in person on day one, and how to build a culture that travels. Under her leadership, Givebutter earned Great Place to Work certification – a reflection of the intentional people systems she has put in place for a distributed workforce.
Lucy speaks and writes on building high-trust people programs for remote-first companies, drawing on firsthand experience scaling a lean, distributed team in a mission-driven environment.
