“Operations leader with Apple and Roku experience who owned founder-level, cross-functional initiatives including Roku’s Brazil market entry (regulatory, tax/entity setup, manufacturing/logistics, and launch metrics) with direct CEO oversight.

“Operations leader with Amazon experience owning a founder-level initiative during national supply chain Regionalization, building and scaling a "Stack-to-Light" operating mechanism to standardize non-sortable FC execution with instrumentation and balanced-scorecard metrics. Later joined Revivn to stabilize an underperforming operation by developing frontline leaders and aligning ops with finance and GTM through clear KPIs and operating cadence.”

“Operations/strategy leader who owned a founder-level turnaround at Bolt Threads, rescuing and scaling a failing business unit through ERP + S&OP implementation, operating model redesign, and cross-functional KPI-driven execution. Achieved a 97% COGS reduction, enabled repeatable production at scale, and supported investor diligence and SPAC readiness by creating a credible operating narrative.”

“NYC-based HR Business Partner with deep startup experience supporting product, design, and analytics orgs. Known for building competency matrices and career pathing frameworks that stabilized teams and improved retention during rapid growth, and for partnering with senior leadership through multiple RIFs using a transparency-first communication and support approach.”
