What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Strategy & Operations role where I can support leadership with data-driven decisions, own PMO/program execution, and use AI-enabled automation to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m a Founder’s Office / Strategy & Operations professional with 5+ years of experience supporting CXOs, founders, and leadership teams across retail, e-commerce, hospitality, startups, and multinational organizations. I specialize in strategic initiatives, PMO execution, business operations, analytics, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery—building execution systems that reduce slippage and improve operational efficiency. I’ve also gained hands-on exposure to AI-enabled workflows, business automation, LLM tools, GPT assistants, Claude workflows, and agent-based productivity systems.

In my recent roles, I’ve managed program delivery and operational workflows, collected and analyzed performance data for internal reporting, and streamlined processes to improve coordination and outcomes. As a Manager at H&M, I drove data-backed commercial decisions, optimized inventories of 200K+ SKUs, and delivered actionable insights for cost optimization; earlier, I led pricing and analytics work using Power BI, SQL, and advanced Excel to support revenue opportunities and KPI execution.
