Director-level Lab Operations & Facilities Leader specializing in life sciences startups

San Francisco, CA20y exp

“Independent biotech operations consultant and former biotech operations director who specializes in standing up startup lab operations end-to-end—facility buildouts, equipment procurement, and workflow/SOP implementation. Known for building clear operating rhythms (SMART/RACI, dashboards in MS Project/Smartsheet) and driving cross-functional execution; previously centralized R&D procurement at Abbvie/Pharmacyclics to cut PO processing time by 40%.”

“Hospitality operator who has opened and started multiple restaurant and bar concepts, with a structured approach from concept/brand story and mission creation through to operational execution. Emphasizes repeatable standards, margin discipline (inventory, portioning, labor), and coaching founders/executives to build scalable, replicable operations.”

“Founder/operator who turned around an underperforming nightlife/hospitality venture by rebuilding the operating system end-to-end—SOPs, dashboards, staffing/onboarding, pricing/promotions, and weekly forecasting/reporting. Demonstrates strong zero-to-one and ambiguity-to-clarity execution with a metrics-driven operating cadence across GTM, finance, and people operations.”
