Business Operations & Strategy Coaches

Welcome to my profile! I am passionate about the intersection of business and technology. I have an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and hold a BS in Business Administration from UNC Kenan-Flagler. I have supported Admissions Committee interviews and TA'd Negotiations classes at Chicago Booth. From a professional perspective, I am currently a GM at AirGarage, a Series B startup, where I manage an 8-figure P&L. Prior to this, I led strategic pilot projects at Scale AI in the Generative AI space. Prior to this, I worked at Instacart for over 5 years where I helped scale Operations from Series E all the way through IPO. My experience began when I learned to solve for cold starts by launching markets across the US and Canada. Eventually this turned into a Senior Manager role where I led strategy and operations for our Canadian markets. Prior to Instacart, I have experience as a IBM Digital Strategy Consultant supporting retail clients. Over the years, I have successfully coached several individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of business strategy and operations. Whether you're looking to break into top companies, advance your career, or considering a top MBA program, I'm here to provide tailored guidance. Feel free to reach out to start your journey towards success!

I tripled my salary in 5 years and negotiated a fully remote status in Hawaii when my company pushed RTO. Now I coach job seekers to do the same: sharper positioning, stronger interviews (including case), and higher offers. I work in strategy & ops at Visa on executive-facing, high-impact initiatives. I’ve held roles in corporate strategy and revenue operations at Visa and Lucid Software. I’ve coached clients into opportunities across strategy, marketing, investment banking, tech sales, tourism, and even medical school admissions. Previous clients have landed offers from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Visa, and the Department of Defense. If you’re ready to make a move, I’d love to help you chart the most direct path to it.

I've spent 15+ years as a strategic operations leader at large companies, like Amazon and Accenture, and high-growth startups. Throughout my career, I've leveraged my diverse cross-functional expertise in operations, vendor management, supply chain, and customer service to deliver meaningful business impact, customer experience, and operational excellence. I've also refined my leadership capabilities and progressed from individual contributor to team member to executive leader. Whether you're stepping into a new role, tackling a business problem, or ready to lead with greater confidence and impact, I offer real-world insights and proven strategies to support your development. I’ve successfully coached Strategy and Operations leaders at all levels to navigate complexity, build high-operforming teams, deliver business results, and achieve their career goals.

Passionate coach with multi-year experience in strategy, operations, team building and leadership. Currently leading Business Operations at $1bn+ Series C startup.

I graduated Harvard Business School in 2018 and one of the favorite parts of school was serving as an admissions representative and helping prospective students navigate the admissions process. I am passionate and excited to help clients pursue their business degree in the way and place that best fits their needs. Before business school I worked as a marketing engineer at Texas Instruments (yes, the calculator company) in a role that was a liaison between our sellers in the field and engineers at corporate. It was a great job but I knew I wanted to learn more about business through an MBA. I quickly realized telling my story and background was tricky for a business setting because of how “non traditional” it was. Thus began my hate-affair with the phrase “non traditional”. I believe anyone and everyone regardless of your background has something to contribute to and can benefit from a business education. Thinking through what that could look like for clients and sharing what I’ve learned from my research and experience is why I coach in my spare time. After graduating HBS, I received a full time off from my internship in strategy and operations at Google and now work in the office of the CTO at Verily. During my time at Google, I helped Google Cloud scale with the growing industry and also worked part time in our internal incubator, Area120, on an AI integrated home fitness platform startup and now do chief of staff/strat ops functions for Verily's tech org. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dogs, scuba diving, teaching fitness classes, and watching college football.

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in finance and strategic investments, I bring a wealth of experience to my coaching in business strategy and operations. Currently, I serve as a Finance Manager at Microsoft, focusing on Cloud & AI Infrastructure Strategy, and have held pivotal roles at VU Venture Partners and Data Collective, where I sourced and evaluated startups across various industries. My diverse experience spans corporate development, venture capital, and investment banking, including impactful projects at J.P. Morgan and T. Rowe Price. I have coached numerous individuals, helping them navigate complex business landscapes and achieve their strategic goals. Let's connect to tailor a plan that aligns with your aspirations and drives your success!

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. I also hold 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. What is genuinely different about working with me is that I have sat in the exact seats my clients are sitting in. I have been the person responsible for transformation when the playbook did not apply, and the org did not want to move. That lived 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.
