Operations leader at Wondery who streamlined 50+ monthly creator-led campaigns across five markets.

United States
Message

At Wondery (an Amazon company), I owned the full lifecycle of 50+ creative campaigns a month across five markets and time zones, 90% of them host-read and produced with podcast creators and their teams. I cut campaign activation time by 25% as volume grew.

I moved the team away from manual, case-by-case handling by designing scalable workflows and documenting standards. This helped keep the creator experience consistent as volume grew.

As Manager, International Operations, I built a month-end reconciliation SOP that cut close from seven to two business days, about 70%, and tightened accuracy across five markets. I also designed workflows for Amazon system integrations spanning operations, account management, and finance hand-offs.

Earlier at Wondery, I project-managed cross-functional teams delivering more than 20 custom branded-content campaigns and designed international media plans that increased creator-led host-read campaign bookings by 30%. I also managed a $4M portfolio across two focus and three tier-2 markets.
