Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

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.

Hello and welcome to my profile! Transitioning from Dalberg and Amex to Google taught me that moving from a non-tech background into tech is less about your resume and more about how you translate your wins. I personally made the move "upstream" - shifting from the commercialization side, where you're often executing someone else's plan, to the creation phase where strategy and operations actually get bought in and built. I’m coaching because I want to help you find that "aha!" moment where you realize your past experience is actually a superpower, not a hurdle. Let’s connect and bridge that gap together.

After my MBA, I was really interested in breaking into the tech industry under the Business Strategy & Operations umbrella. I didn't know what roles fell into the broad category, and didn't know the best skills to prep for interviews. I help candidates prep for interviews (behavioral, case (both live and take home), and C-Suite calls) and best translate their existing experience into what tech companies want to hear. I can support in end-to-end process, from identifying initial companies, all the way to negotiating a final offer!
