Christopher Ciulla
@christopherciulla
I deliver operations-led regulatory compliance and emergency readiness, combining military discipline with client-facing leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations-driven professional with 10+ years of experience across military aviation, federal regulatory compliance, business development, and human services. I build scalable SOPs and manage high-volume, high-stakes workflows under stringent standards, while leading cross-functional teams with clear, practical communication.
In regulatory roles, I’ve supported large compliance and case-management workloads—maintaining on-time submission compliance with federal deadlines and improving quality control processes to reduce rejection rates. I translate complex requirements into actionable guidance for clients, coordinating with federal stakeholders to streamline workflows and resolve issues efficiently.
My background also blends readiness and discipline: I’ve performed pre-/post-flight aircraft maintenance to FAA and MIL-STD standards, and I’m a FEMA-certified emergency management practitioner with active certifications. I bring that same calm, systems-first approach to crisis intervention, staff training, and process improvement—so teams can execute reliably and achieve measurable outcomes.
