What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or revenue-ops role where I can lead transformation, automate processes, and partner with executives to scale growth.

I am an executive revenue operations leader with 15+ years delivering sales process optimization, automation, and data-driven strategies that increase efficiency and drive revenue growth. I partner with cross-functional and executive teams to lead large-scale transformation, system integrations, and GTM readiness.

I have led operational programs that automated workflows (70% automation for RMA), designed and deployed executive dashboards, and created digital quoting and customer support processes that generated $1M+ in event revenue and produced significant lead generation.

My experience spans ERP and CRM migrations, POS and sales dashboard automation for key retailers, and training/global enablement for hundreds of sales managers; I bring a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to scaling sales operations and improving productivity.
