What I'm looking for
I’m a digital media and content operations leader with 18+ years of experience scaling publication pipelines and modernizing workflows. My sweet spot is bridging the gap between editorial rigor and digital tech, designing automated systems that cut out manual drag, speed up production, and improve quality across high-stakes portfolios.
Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams, overhauled legacy publishing processes, and built custom Python and Node.js automation scripts to streamline file processing and digital delivery. I focus on turning complex, chaotic workflows into clear, scalable, multi-channel content engines.
I’m looking for senior remote leadership roles - like Director or Senior Manager - in Content Operations, Knowledge Management, or Digital Strategy. I thrive in environments where I can build smarter operational systems, integrate practical automation, and help great content teams perform at their best.
