About
Operations leader/Chief of Staff profile with experience building organizations in both government and high-growth tech. Helped stand up Senator John Fetterman’s Senate office—designing the org structure and systems for a 55-person team—and later improved planning, reporting, and OKR execution within Stripe’s legal/global policy org during rapid scaling. Now consults part-time to help executives translate strategy into execution through clear ownership, operating rhythms, and scalable systems.
