What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can build operational infrastructure, scale cross-functional programs, and deploy AI automation to improve KPIs and revenue—partnering closely with C-level stakeholders to deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m a strategic operations and program management leader with over a decade of experience directing large-scale global projects. I build operational infrastructure that enables cross-functional execution, and I’ve consistently managed budgets up to $60 million while leading international teams of up to 250 people.

As Head of Operations and AI Systems at XCLSV Media, I lead program management across marketing, events, acquisition, and technology work streams. I build performance dashboards and KPI reporting frameworks to improve execution speed and stakeholder visibility, and I developed business development pipelines and client workflows that drove 15% revenue growth from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026.

I also built and deployed end-to-end AI agent infrastructure, including LLM-powered orchestration systems and CRM automation pipelines. By integrating AI-powered workflows and process automation, I reduced manual operational overhead by 30% across 10 concurrent client accounts.

Previously, as Director, Global Tour Management at The World Poker Tour, I directed end-to-end planning and execution of high-profile global events across international markets. I managed budgets ranging from $1 million to $60 million, led teams of up to 250 people, strengthened relationships across 25+ countries, and contributed to $10 million in annual gross profit growth through strategic business development proposals.
