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!

Most executives are closer to their next breakthrough than they think. The gap is rarely strategy. It's execution, alignment, and the leadership communication holding the whole thing together. I've spent 25 years working at the intersection of business strategy and leadership development, advising executives at LinkedIn (Microsoft), Google, Databricks, Gilead, and others. That work has driven real results: 75M+ in transformation benefits, 166M+ in new business from international growth strategies, and B2B sales cycles shortened from years to months. I bring both the strategic altitude and the operational groundwork to move the needle on what actually matters. A core part of my approach is the PrinciplesYou assessment, developed by Ray Dalio's organization. As one of a select group of certified facilitators, I use it to build the self-awareness and strategic alignment that makes leadership development stick, not just in theory, but in how leaders show up and decide every day. I'm also an award-winning business coach (US SBA THRIVE program) and author of multiple leadership books. If you want a thought partner who oscillates between vision and execution and knows what it costs when they're misaligned, this is the right coaching.

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%.

With a robust background in business strategy and operations, I have co-founded and led teams across various industries, focusing on optimizing processes and leveraging AI to drive efficiency and growth. At ExitLoop, I implemented systems that significantly reduced revenue loss for healthcare clinics, while at Wealth Factory, I enhanced program and technology integration to elevate client experiences. My experience at Strategy West Financial and GrowthAmp involved streamlining operations and automating workflows, resulting in substantial revenue increases and operational savings. I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to complex challenges and am eager to help you refine your business strategies for success.

My university is a non-target school for top consulting firms with around a ~67.6% admission rate and an unranked business school by USNews. The total student population of CSUF's business college is around 9,000+, and I was successful in differentiating myself and getting my profile in front of interviewers at most of the Big4 Consulting Groups (Deloitte Consulting, EY-Parthenon, Strategy&) and the three MBB firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG). For many of these firms, I was the FIRST to interview from my undergraduate program in my school's history and the first to receive job offers.
