About

I am a startup focused strategic operations professional who works as a founder level partner to build strong teams and scalable systems. I have helped scale organizations from 7 to 120 plus employees by setting up people, operations, and execution processes that support speed without chaos. My strength lies in optimizing and standardizing workflows, building high performing teams, and creating work cultures that enable productivity and ownership. I bring international exposure and have worked closely with founders and leadership teams to turn strategy into execution across people, process, and operations. I am especially effective in early and growth stage startups where structure needs to be built while the business is moving fast. I am now looking to partner with founders and leadership teams to help build, scale, and operate startups with clarity, strong culture, and disciplined execution.
