My focus is building the engine for growth, not just maintaining the machine.
What I'm looking for
My career is built on a single operating principle: True growth is not accidental; it is the product of rational design. I specialize in stepping into complex systems where effort no longer equals results, stripping processes to their essential logic, and architecting new solutions that create leverage and drive scale.
This approach has defined my career progression. At D'Alessio Law Group, I was recruited as a manager and was promoted twice in under two years, culminating in a role as Director of Business Development. There, I led a full-scale redesign of the firm's operational and client acquisition systems from first principles.
This wasn't a minor tune-up; it was a fundamental re-architecture that:
Grew profit margins by 25% and scaled monthly revenue to nearly $400K by redesigning our pricing and service model.
Increased client conversion by 45% by architecting a new, automated acquisition funnel that separated lead nurturing from case management.
Cut agent workload by 25% by initiating and co-designing a first-of-its-kind native integration between our CRM and CMS.
Having successfully architected the firm's growth engine, I chose to pivot and apply my systems-thinking approach to a more complex and rapidly evolving field: Artificial Intelligence. As an independent AI Business & Safety Strategist, I partner with premier AI labs including OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic. My work involves elite red-teaming to identify critical vulnerabilities and shape next-generation models to ensure their commercial readiness and alignment with real-world business needs. This experience has placed me at the forefront of applied AI, where the principles of rational design are more critical than ever.
What I'm Looking For:
My goal now is to find a leadership role where my primary focus returns to the craft of building. I am seeking an opportunity to architect the core systems, be it product, operations, or go-to-market strategy, that enable a talented team to do their best work.
I thrive in environments that value deep thinking, first-principles problem-solving, and the pursuit of elegant solutions to hard problems. I am most effective when tasked with building the engine of the business, not just maintaining it.
My core interests lie at the intersection of technology, psychology, and economics. I am endlessly fascinated by how well-designed systems can shape human behavior and unlock latent potential, and I bring this human-centric perspective to every challenge I take on.
