What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and strategic growth within a dynamic organization.

As a seasoned Chief of Staff and Senior Director of Product Operations, I have a proven track record of driving business transformation and operational excellence. At WeightWatchers, I developed product KPIs and financial forecasts that significantly boosted site conversion and engagement metrics, achieving a remarkable 5x increase in conversion rates. My strategic oversight of a $90M budget across multiple departments led to substantial cost savings and enhanced organizational efficiency.

My leadership experience extends to managing talent acquisition teams and implementing systems that support global hiring initiatives. I successfully led a team through a major acquisition, ensuring seamless integration and alignment with company goals. My role at Epic Games further honed my skills in internal consulting and workforce planning, where I designed innovative systems to streamline operations and enhance employee experience.
