In a world full of tools and templates, progress still depends on people.
I help leaders translate plans into action through people-centered leadership and execution.
Who Am I
I am a growth and operations leader with over 15 years of experience spanning corporate strategy, operations, business development, and revenue growth. My career has crossed high-impact environments including early-stage ventures, management consulting, and commercial real estate.
I bring a rare blend of technical expertise, entrepreneurial mindset, and corporate experience, and I am deeply motivated by helping mission-driven organizations grow, scale, and create meaningful, lasting impact.
How I Work
At my core, I am a highly adaptable expert generalist who excels at connecting the dots between vision, strategy, and execution. I translate complex ideas into clear, actionable plans and build high-performing teams that deliver measurable results. Comfortable moving between visionary thinking and hands-on execution, I can see the big picture while rolling up my sleeves to get the work done—bridging gaps that often stall fast-moving organizations.
