Business Operations & Strategy Coaching, Events, and Resources

I specialize in helping finance professionals - particularly those coming from private equity or investment banking - transition into high-impact roles at technology startups. With hands-on experience across PE, strategy, operations, strategic finance, and leadership roles in high-growth SaaS, I understand how to translate an investment-driven background into real operational and strategic value creation at a startup. My coaching covers the full arc: identifying your optimal role and stage fit (Chief of Staff, BizOps, Strategy, Strategic Finance, or Corp Dev - at early, mid, or late-stage companies), building a compelling transition narrative, repositioning your experience for the roles you're targeting, and preparing you to interview with confidence. I combine practical frameworks with firsthand context — so you're not just ready to land the role, but to hit the ground running once you're in it. If you're ready to make the leap, I can help you get there.

I’ve spent the past several years operating inside high-growth startups, helping teams fix broken systems, scale operations, and make cleaner decisions under pressure. My experience spans strategy, go-to-market, product, hiring, and building the internal processes that keep a company running smoothly. I’ve stepped in as a fractional operator, built AI workflows, rebuilt team structures, and helped founders navigate their biggest strategic choices. My coaching focuses on clarity and execution. I help you simplify complex problems, build systems that make sense, and create a path you can actually follow. Whether you’re trying to scale your team, fix operational bottlenecks, sharpen your strategy, or get unstuck in your role as a leader, I bring a calm, practical approach that helps you move faster with confidence.

I've worked at three SaaS companies (two unicorns) in BizOps / Strategy roles. In my current role running growth strategy at Carta, I manage four teams and over a dozen team members across strategic functions in the business.

I’m a seasoned strategy and business operations leader with experience across consulting and high-growth consumer tech. I’ve grown my career extremely quickly—starting with three years in management consulting at Deloitte, followed by three years at Stitch Fix (where I was promoted three times to Director), and most recently serving as VP of Strategy & Analytics at AllTrails, where I sit on the senior leadership team. In these roles, I’ve led long-term strategy development, annual planning, OKRs, business reviews, board materials, analytics, and research. I’ve also acted as a general manager for top company priorities including international expansion, monetization, and retention. My strength lies in balancing EQ and IQ—reading the room, understanding what matters to stakeholders, and adapting accordingly, while applying deep strategy and operations expertise to solve a company’s most complex, high-stakes challenges. As a coach, I can help with interview prep (including take-home projects), career navigation, or thought partnership on live projects. I’ve coached dozens of people into roles while also building teams from scratch and managing orgs of ~20 people. Looking forward to connecting and building a tailored plan for you!

Built a career in strategy, marketing, and growth. From management consulting to leading brand at IBM and eBay, I now bring that corporate rigor to my coaching clients. I help you with strategy and systems to win right-fit clients at healthy margins. I share what I've learned and coach you so you can say exactly what buyers needs to hear to sign a five, six and seven-figure+ contract. And we avoid the big business ‘nice to haves’ a growing business can (and must) do without. Because in a sea of sameness, your moat is what you stand for, who you serve best, and what only you deliver. Sharpening one client's positioning increased their deal size 40% and cut their sales cycle 35%.
