What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with C-suite leaders to build scalable SOPs, optimize workflows, and deploy AI-enabled automation that improves clarity, alignment, and measurable operational efficiency.

I’m an Executive Business Partner and executive operations leader with 10+ years supporting CEOs, founders, and senior executives across nonprofits, startups, and growth-focused organizations. I design operational systems, workflows, and communication structures that improve decision-making, execution, and alignment.

I’m known for reducing operational friction and building scalable processes. In my most recent role, I developed SOPs and executive rhythm systems (briefings, agendas, follow-up tracking) that strengthened alignment and cross-department consistency.

I also deliver measurable efficiency gains through workflow optimization and automation. I’ve improved workflow efficiency by 20%, increased consistency by 45%, and built systems that increased efficiency by 50% while supporting higher client retention.

From governance to documentation, I bring a modern operations infrastructure mindset—leveraging AI-enabled workflows and tools like Microsoft Copilot to bring clarity, visibility, and follow-through. I’m especially drawn to work where operational strategy directly translates into better execution and stronger organizational coordination.
