Program & Operations Leader | 20+ yrs building PMO frameworks, scaling tech/GTM ops & driving efficiencies. Let’s connect!
What I'm looking for
Program & Operations Leader with 20+ years of experience building operational backbones, PMO frameworks, and GTM execution plans across technology, healthcare, and enterprise software.
Throughout my career at companies like Expedia Group, Propeller, Vail Resorts, and Level 3 Communications, I’ve focused on running operations as disciplined businesses. I specialize in designing intake and prioritization frameworks, governing high-stakes vendor relationships, and leading cross-functional teams through complex change. Key highlights include establishing vendor governance across top global tech partners, managing a $1B digital portfolio, and delivering a transition roadmap projecting over $20M in enterprise savings.
Outside of work, I stay active outdoors in Colorado (floating local rivers, playing golf, and volunteering as a ski patroller). Professionally and personally, I thrive on building strong community connections and cross-functional trust. I'm looking for high-impact program or operations leadership roles where I can help scaling organizations bridge high-level strategy with frontline execution.
