“Operations/finance leader who joined Google during a rapid growth phase (circa 2007–2008) and built foundational analytics and governance systems across revenue, partnerships, and global marketing finance. Known for shifting organizations from qualitative/"feel" decisions to metrics-driven quota setting, deal evaluation (including cannibalization and margin thresholds), and ROI-based marketing budgeting while aligning senior stakeholders like CFO and CMO.”

“C-level operator and advisor who has led operational transformations at growing companies from ~$100M revenue to multi-billion scale. Focuses on working backwards from a north star to build KPI/decision-owner mechanisms, P&L-linked accountability, and agile org structures—citing outcomes like +500 bps market share gains, millions saved in people costs, and EBITDA acceleration for a PE exit.”

“Former lawyer and Bain consultant who evolved into a senior media/operator leader across NBCUniversal, Discovery, Nickelodeon, and a subscription gaming startup. Unusually combines top-tier analytical training, enterprise dealmaking, and COO-level execution—building proprietary analytics systems, leading Discovery+ launch partnerships that delivered 20M year-one subscribers, and driving startup turnaround improvements including a $2M inventory obsolescence avoidance.”
