At AI Forge, I wrote the scoring rubric and screening prompts used to assess 600+ applications per intake, cutting first-pass review from weeks to hours. I also assessed founding teams through cohort stress tests and wrote the operating manual after the London and Miami launches.

At Johnson & Johnson, through Experis (Manpower Group), I led the team that designed a BA Certification Program made mandatory for 250+ analysts. I reviewed deliverables against its standard and coached 40 analysts one to one.

Earlier, as General Manager, North America at Solid State Logic, I owned budgeting and forecasting for a $20M P&L. I moved warranty tracking into Salesforce, helping recover about $200K in warranty revenue in the first year.
