I keep founder-critical operations, compliance, recruiting, and vendors moving across time zones.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to take on high-trust operational responsibility for founders or leadership teams, including compliance execution, vendor management, recruiting operations, process design, and cross-timezone coordination.

At Mandolin, I keep revenue-critical healthcare partnership execution moving by owning legal and compliance documents, executive scheduling, recruiting operations, and office-budget decisions. I also built an AI-assisted executive-support workflow across six integrated systems and avoided an unnecessary approximately $20K purchase through vendor quote review.

Previously, I supported the Co-CEOs at August Digital / Upshift through vendor negotiations, executive offsites, investor and partner tracking, and delegation frameworks for a distributed team. My operations background also includes managing 30+ local SEO client accounts at Localise, building paid social campaigns at Toyota Cebu City, and leading store and service operations at Tom N Toms Coffee and Starbucks.
