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.

MBA from Chicago Booth. I've spent my career at the intersection of strategy and operations — leading GTM strategy at Yext, driving Rokt's $325M Series E to a ~$2B valuation, and running cross-functional strategy and ops as Chief of Staff at Flex. Currently heading up GTM Operations at TLDR Media, where I own revenue operations, pricing strategy, and commercial systems end-to-end. I've sat on the Chicago Booth Admissions Committee, so I understand what top programs are screening for — and how to position yourself credibly.

Strategy and operations have been the spine of my entire career. As a Partner/Director level leader in the Big Four and a Principal at AWS, my job was turning strategy into something that actually runs: the operating model, the decisions, the execution rhythm that determine whether a good plan survives. I've built and scaled teams and operations across industries and geographies, and I've seen where most strategies quietly die, somewhere between the slide and the day-to-day. I can help you sharpen how you think strategically, lead operations with more authority, and position yourself for the broad, cross-functional roles where operations and strategy meet. As an ICF-ACC certified coach with this operating background, I help you grow into the leader who connects the big picture to what happens on the ground. My coaching style is practical, direct, and grounded in lived experience. I help leaders step back from day-to-day pressure, see the larger system, clarify priorities, make better decisions, and translate intent into operating rhythm. I don’t come in with generic playbooks. I work with people to understand their context, their constraints, their stakeholders, and the leadership shifts required to move the business forward. For me, good strategy is not just about better plans. It is about better judgment, better alignment, and the confidence to act.

I help leadership teams make hard tradeoffs—across strategy, growth priorities, and operating models—so the organization stops spreading resources thin and starts executing what actually matters. As a senior executive with experience leading strategic workforce planning, organizational design, and enterprise transformation inside complex, growth-focused organizations, I’ve worked at the intersection of strategy and execution. I understand how quickly priorities multiply, complexity compounds, and performance suffers when focus erodes. Today, I partner with executive teams and scaling companies to clarify growth priorities, streamline operating rhythms, and align structure, talent, and metrics to drive results. The work centers on improving decision velocity, eliminating operational friction, and ensuring the organization is built to deliver—not just plan. The outcome: sharper execution, stronger performance, and leadership teams aligned around what moves the business forward.
