COO / VP Operations leader and EOS Integrator driving strategy execution, leadership alignment, and profitable growth in professional services.

United States
Message

Executive operations leader with more than 20 years of experience helping architecture, engineering, and professional services organizations translate strategy into measurable results. My background spans enterprise operations, P&L accountability, organizational development, executive leadership, business transformation, and strategic execution.

As Chief Practice Officer and EOS Integrator at NAC Architecture, I helped lead a 200+ employee organization across four offices. I established the firm's first Integrator function, aligned 11 leadership teams around operating priorities and accountability, and led cross-functional initiatives that helped close a projected $4M revenue gap, contributing to $54M in annual revenue and $5M in profit.

Earlier at Trinity, I helped transform financial and operational performance, improving gross margin from 61% to 71%, moving net results from a $103K loss to a $545K profit, and reducing employee departures from 26 to 5 over comparable two-year periods. Most recently, as Vice President of Operations at The Rucks Group, I strengthened organizational execution through EOS operating disciplines, leadership accountability, and improved business processes.

My strength is connecting strategy, people, systems, and financial performance to help organizations scale, navigate change, and operate more effectively. I bring a practical, collaborative leadership approach grounded in clear expectations, sound decision-making, and measurable outcomes.

I am exploring remote COO, VP/Head of Operations, Chief of Staff, and EOS Integrator opportunities, including select fractional and interim executive engagements. Based in Central Ohio, I am comfortable with periodic travel.
