I’m looking for a Chief of Staff, strategy, or biz ops role where I can step into ambiguity, turn data into action, and help teams run more effectively. I’m drawn to fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments and roles where I can work closely with leadership to build, scale, and drive meaningful impact.
