I specialize in guiding senior leaders through career growth, strategic shifts, and achieving fulfillment. As the Founder of my own coaching practice, I leverage my extensive background, including roles at The Bridgespan Group and training from Bain & Co. to provide tailored advice in strategy, operations, and workplace culture. My MBA from Kellogg School of Management and my experience as a senior leader equip me with the insights needed to help you navigate complex challenges. I look forward to working together to unlock your talent and create impact in your career.

I bring extensive experience in business operations and strategic transformation from my tenure at leading organizations such as McKinsey, Fanatics, and Lavendr. At McKinsey, I led high-impact digital transformations, operating model redesigns, and go-to-market strategies across diverse industries, directly influencing executive decisions and delivering multimillion-dollar value. Currently, as a Business Operations Associate at Fanatics, I manage strategic execution and product roadmaps for complex AI/ML-driven digital initiatives, aligning cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders to achieve ambitious operational outcomes. My practical knowledge of navigating complex organizational structures, coupled with my strategic acumen and data-driven decision-making capabilities, positions me ideally to coach professionals looking to excel in business operations, strategy, and cross-functional leadership roles.

Between my experience in consulting, product, and strategy, I have a breadth of experiences that can help candidates who are thinking through the next steps in their career. In addition, I can help candidates develop the strategy for transitioning roles or areas if they choose to (i.e. going from Operations to Product) focusing on the skill-sets needed and the roadmap to get there.

I graduated Harvard Business School in 2018 and one of the favorite parts of school was serving as an admissions representative and helping prospective students navigate the admissions process. I am passionate and excited to help clients pursue their business degree in the way and place that best fits their needs. Before business school I worked as a marketing engineer at Texas Instruments (yes, the calculator company) in a role that was a liaison between our sellers in the field and engineers at corporate. It was a great job but I knew I wanted to learn more about business through an MBA. I quickly realized telling my story and background was tricky for a business setting because of how “non traditional” it was. Thus began my hate-affair with the phrase “non traditional”. I believe anyone and everyone regardless of your background has something to contribute to and can benefit from a business education. Thinking through what that could look like for clients and sharing what I’ve learned from my research and experience is why I coach in my spare time. After graduating HBS, I received a full time off from my internship in strategy and operations at Google and now work in the office of the CTO at Verily. During my time at Google, I helped Google Cloud scale with the growing industry and also worked part time in our internal incubator, Area120, on an AI integrated home fitness platform startup and now do chief of staff/strat ops functions for Verily's tech org. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dogs, scuba diving, teaching fitness classes, and watching college football.

With a successful track record in scaling businesses and enhancing operational processes, I have acquired a depth of knowledge in strategic planning, project execution, and team leadership. As a Director of Growth Operations for a tech startup, I implemented growth strategies that doubled revenue year over year and led to a significant increase in both B2B clients and B2C users. My experience extends beyond strategic planning to the meticulous execution of operational initiatives, from a comprehensive overhaul of system architectures to seamless 3rd-party integrations. This holistic approach has led to substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability, driving exponential growth for the companies I've worked with. In my coaching sessions, I offer the opportunity to leverage my insights and experiences to advance your business strategy and operations prowess. Whether you're looking to refine your business strategy, improve your operational processes, or simply understand the intersection between the two, I'm here to guide and empower you toward your business goals.

I previously worked at Faire, Grow Therapy, and Better.com on their Strategy and Biz Ops & Analytics teams prior to transitioning into Venture Capital. In addition to my professional experience, I have successfully navigated the competitive hiring processes of top-tier organizations, earning multiple offers across various industries including DoorDash and Nordstrom (Enterprise Strategy).
