Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

Hello and welcome to my profile! With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I bring a wealth of experience from my roles at AWS, where I lead strategy and operations for EMEA Demand Generation and Inside Sales, managing $3.9B in revenue. My experience in streamlining processes and optimizing cross-functional initiatives has consistently driven significant improvements in sales productivity and revenue attainment. As a coach, I've successfully guided individuals in their approach to Amazon interviews and the Amazon way of working. Whether you're looking to apply Amazon principles and ways of working to your business strategy or to join the Amazon workforce, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and explore how I can help you succeed!

I’m a former VC where I evaluated hundreds of founders, reviewed pitch decks, built investment theses, and led diligence for both private and public investments. I later became the CEO and founder of a venture-backed startup funded by Silicon Valley and Singapore-based VCs, giving me firsthand experience building strategy, GTM plans, and fundraising materials from the founder side. My background includes 20 years in strategy, finance, and operations across roles at Catcha Group (Southeast Asia’s leading venture builder) and the Clermont Group (private equity). I specialize in helping early-stage companies clarify their business model, craft investor-ready narratives, and structure compelling pitch decks and strategic plans. Whether you need to refine your fundraising story, tighten your strategy, or build a clear and persuasive pitch, I bring the perspective of both an investor and a founder to help you communicate your value and accelerate your growth.

At Waterfield Technologies, I inherited an organization with no strategic plan, disconnected systems, and a leadership team that had never been given a framework for thinking across functions. Over 18 months, the documented impact included over $1M in cost avoidance, $216K in unnecessary spending prevented in the first six months, a 40% revenue increase through a business intelligence strategy I designed and implemented, and an M&A integration that ran six months faster than projected. That work was built on a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt from Villanova and an Enterprise Design Thinking Practitioner certification from IBM — both applied inside real organizations under real pressure, not in a classroom. I have been the person responsible for transformation when the playbook did not apply, and the org did not want to move. That experience changes the quality of the conversation — not because I tell clients what to do, but because I know the right questions to ask when the situation is complicated, and the pressure is real.

I have 10 years of experience in strategy roles across consulting, product management, and strategy & ops. I’ve worked at companies like BCG, Amazon, and now Uber, and hold an MBA from Wharton. I’m excited to help others on their journey -- whether that’s breaking into strategy & ops or consulting, or serving as a strategic advisor to leaders navigating complex challenges.

Welcome to my profile! With over two decades of experience in strategic leadership roles, including as a Leadership Coach at McKinsey & Company and a Managing Director at Moo Pie Advisors Inc, I specialize in guiding executives and teams to achieve their strategic and operational goals. My extensive background includes leading major transformations and strategic reviews at top companies like Cisco, TiVo, and Renaissance, where I have driven growth, scaling, and successful M&A processes. I hold advanced degrees from prestigious institutions such as Harvard Kennedy School and the London School of Economics, equipping me with a robust foundation in negotiation and leadership. Whether you're looking to enhance your executive presence, improve strategic thinking, or navigate complex organizational changes, I'm here to provide tailored coaching and actionable insights. Let's connect to unlock your potential and drive your business forward!

I have spent my career driving business operations and strategy across complex, global organizations—leading supply chains, service businesses, and acquisitions with measurable results. Having lived and worked in Africa, the US, and Europe, I bring a cross-cultural perspective that allows me to navigate diverse markets, unite international teams, and deliver sustainable growth. With resilience, strategic vision, and hands-on leadership, I guide professionals and organizations to streamline operations, unlock efficiencies, and achieve ambitious business goals.

Business Operations and Strategy sounds like one thing. It's actually three: knowing how to think structurally, knowing how to operate inside complex organizations, and knowing how to make both visible to the people who decide your next move. I've worked across all three. At McKinsey, I was trained to break down ambiguous problems, build the business case, and communicate to senior stakeholders under pressure. At Ericsson, I rotated across business control, commercial strategy, and tactical management inside a 100,000-person global organization — which means I know what strategy looks like when it has to survive contact with reality. Now as VP of Global Business Control at a global SaaS company, I sit at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy at the executive level — and I see every day what separates the people who get pulled into high-stakes work from the ones who don't. Whether you're trying to break into BizOps or strategy for the first time, or you're already in the role and want to move faster — what I coach is the same: how to think like a strategist, how to operate with credibility inside complex organizations, and how to position yourself so that the right opportunities find you. BizOps and strategy roles reward people who can zoom out and zoom in at the same time. I'll help you build both.

With a robust background in strategic finance and corporate development at Gopuff, coupled with my experience as an Investment Banking Analyst at Barclays, I bring a wealth of knowledge in business strategy and operations. My journey through these roles has equipped me with the skills to help clients navigate complex business challenges and optimize their strategic initiatives. Currently pursuing my MBA at Harvard Business School, I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to guide others in achieving their career goals in the business world. Whether you're looking to break into strategy roles or need some help with your business, I'm here to help you succeed. Let's connect and chart a path to your success!

I am a seasoned strategy and operations leader, with global experience at industry leading firms in tech (Google), financial services (Capital One), consulting (BCG), and mining (Anglo American).

Additionally, I have been directly responsible for performance management of full-time employees and so have insight into what makes candidates successful in the job.
