Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

With an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics and Political Science from Amherst College, I have deep knowledge and experience in business strategy and operations. As the VP of Strategy and Operations at Pursuit, I have built and led teams and driven business growth. My previous roles at Pursuit and Acelero Learning have equipped me with a nuanced understanding of sales, operations planning, and data management.

I've spent my career building strategy and business operations capabilities across consulting (Deloitte), startups and growth-stage companies (Reforge and Everspring), tech (Udemy), and now as Chief Strategy Officer at Chicago Beyond, where I lead strategy, operations, and AI transformation. Along the way, I've built Strategy & Business Operations functions from the ground up, led corporate strategy and annual planning, redesigned operating models, developed pricing and go-to-market strategy, launched AI products, and partnered directly with executive teams on their most important business decisions. I've also coached professionals on breaking into Strategy & Operations, navigating interviews, and transitioning into strategic roles. Whether you're looking to land your next role or increase your impact in your current one, I'll help you think more strategically, communicate with confidence, and build practical skills you can apply throughout your career.

I've spent about 20 years in operations and program management. I ran Trust and Safety organizations from 8 to 450 people at Accenture and TikTok, including the work for Meta and Twitter, and built most of that headcount myself. One account from 8 people to 150, and another from 150 to 450. Scaling an operation is a different problem than running one. What works at 20 people doesn't survive at 100+ and there are signs along the way that things are breaking. I've caught those repeatedly, in environments where getting it wrong was public. I hired, promoted and coached the managers on those teams as well. I've also been on the hiring side of hundreds of interviews. If you're interviewing for one of these roles, I can tell you what the person across the table is actually listening for I do my best coaching when you bring something specific. A team that's outgrown its process, a function you're being asked to build from nothing, a role you're interviewing for. I'm more useful with specifics than generic questions.
