With extensive experience in strategic leadership and operational excellence, I am exceptionally qualified to serve as a Chief of Staff Coach on Leland, guiding professionals seeking to excel in this pivotal role. My background includes over 11 years as a Naval Officer, culminating in my position as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Navy Chief of Legislative Affairs, who reports directly to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations. In this capacity, I collaborated closely with US Senators/Congressmen and Senate/House Committee staff, managing high-stakes legislative initiatives and ensuring alignment across executive branches. Complementing this, my five years in product management at leading tech companies such as Amazon, LinkedIn, and Guideline have refined my expertise in cross-functional coordination, strategic planning, and driving organizational priorities to achieve measurable results. As a coach, I am dedicated to empowering people to break into the Chief of Staff role and enhance their strategic leadership capabilities. My approach draws from proven experience as a strategic partner in executive stakeholder management, optimizing operational workflows, and delivering high-impact organizational outcomes in dynamic environments. By providing tailored guidance on frameworks such as OKRs, stakeholder mapping, and strategic communication, I equip people with the tools to articulate their value, build executive trust, and navigate complex challenges effectively. My commitment is to offer people actionable strategies and personalized mentorship to realize their Chief of Staff aspirations with confidence and precision.
