What I'm looking for

I seek senior operational leadership in growth-oriented companies where I can drive efficiency, scale teams, support M&A/transformations, and structure governance while protecting founder and investor interests.

I am a seasoned technology and operations executive with 20+ years of experience leading large-scale operations, driving efficiency, and supporting enterprise-wide growth. I blend strategic vision with disciplined execution to scale organizations and deliver measurable results.

At Improbable I helped transform the company into a venture builder and drove up to 35% OPEX savings through vendor rationalization and resource alignment. I’ve led spinouts and divestitures while building governance and operational frameworks to support sustained growth.

As COO at Already There Inc., I design publishing and venture-building models, structure SAFE financings, negotiate legal agreements, and build developer-friendly commercial frameworks—prioritizing founder protection and capital efficiency. Previously, I led production, technology, and operations teams at Recur, NBCUniversal, and Disney Interactive, delivering high-quality digital products and improving development KPIs.

I am recognized as a trusted C-suite advisor who builds cross-functional teams, optimizes processes, and guides organizations through complex transformations, M&A integrations, and international expansion while maintaining compliance and operational continuity.
