Co-Founder & Senior Partner

The Team

Janelle Gorman

Janelle is the engine that keeps Rivet running. With over a decade in finance and operations, she oversees all financial strategy and compliance.

Before Rivet, she was VP of Operations at TRM Microwave, leading a facility expansion, streamlining operations, and navigating a successful exit—all in two years. She’s also held key roles at Oracle and Dyn, playing a major part in acquisitions and high-growth initiatives.

When she’s not keeping Rivet on track, she’s keeping up with her two kids—her most rewarding leadership role yet!

Head of Operations

Liz Carney

Liz is a workforce strategist with expertise in building and scaling high-performing teams. After eight years shaping the "people" function at a top financial services firm, she joined Rivet, bringing her sharp eye for exceptional talent and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done.

She’s equal parts creative problem-solver and straight shooter — known for forging strong relationships and asking the tough questions that drive results.

A former Division I field hockey player, Liz traded the NYC hustle for the New Jersey suburbs, where she now keeps up with two kids, a husband, and the occasional nostalgia for city life.

Senior Talent Assosiate

Here’s what we believe:

  • We work with fewer companies than we probably could. Why? Because we view our clients’ success as our own — that means learning each business from the inside out in order to anticipate the unique challenges coming down the road. Most of our clients work with us for years.

  • Our team members are hired from former tech unicorns, Fortune-500 companies and industry-disrupting organizations across every discipline. We know what it takes to get creative in the face of daunting challenges, and we push our clients to think outside the box to solve their own.

  • “I’m more of a big picture guy,” doesn’t fly in our office. We want to work with partners who are as meticulous in their work as we are. At Rivet, we promise to always make time for the little things other firms might miss. Our clients work hard. Why shouldn’t we?

  • Rivet is a woman and minority-owned business. We know that diversity, in all its forms, makes a company stronger. We seek to connect growing companies with team members who can bring singular perspectives to their work, offering an undeniable advantage in the process.
