What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to empower teams, drive growth, and foster innovation in a collaborative environment.

I am a senior executive with a proven track record in leading and scaling organizations within the animal welfare, pet, and lifestyle sectors. My expertise lies in developing and executing growth strategies that drive operational excellence, client acquisition, and brand expansion. I have a passion for empowering teams and fostering strategic alliances that maximize organizational impact.

As the founder of Professional Pet Sitters Inc, I transformed a local pet care service into a leading business, serving over 2,000 clients with a dedicated team of 40 professionals. My innovative marketing initiatives and focus on personalized client experiences have resulted in a 90% client retention rate and a 30% year-over-year increase in our client base. I also provide specialized coaching services for pet care business owners, helping them grow their client base and achieve a balanced work-life dynamic.
