About

Operator/strategy leader with experience driving digital transformation and building executive operating systems in high-noise environments. At a legacy B2C brand, created a prioritization framework and exec alignment process that cut 100+ initiatives to 16 and lifted execution from 12% to 81%. At Point B, owned a $20M delivery budget while shifting the firm to a tech-forward practice, implementing OKR/KPI cadences and AI-enabled workflows (n8n, LLMs, gamma.ai) that materially improved executive productivity.

  • Created a single source of truth (unified OKR stack, KPI dashboard, initiative scorecard) to reduce executive noise and speed decisions
  • Implemented operating cadences and escalation paths that protected strategic work while containing operational fires
  • Automated executive deck/narrative workflows with AI tools, reducing C-suite time spent on decks by ~80%
  • Strong discretion and trusted-advisor practices (need-to-know, compartmentalization, decision-focused comms)
