I build the structure that helps teams execute faster, stay aligned, and scale without chaos.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At 24/7 Artists, I partnered directly with the CEO to lead company-wide execution for a venture-backed B2C SaaS and education platform serving 20,000+ users. I built the operating cadence across seven functions, reduced missed deadlines by ~40%, reclaimed 15 hours/week of CEO capacity, and supported a successful $4M raise.
As COO, I managed ~$300K in annual budgets, led five direct reports, delivered $500K+ in cumulative cost savings, and helped cut a projected engineering delay in half. I also built AI-enabled operating systems that improved decision-making and reduced manual coordination.
Before that, I founded New Frame Agency, generating $100K+ in revenue at 35%+ net margins while managing clients, budgets, contractors, and 50+ annual projects.
