Natasha Braut

At Urban Specialty Woods, I serve as Director of Business Operations and Chief of Staff to the Founder, leading annual planning, quarterly business reviews, executive reporting, and governance that turns leadership priorities into execution.

I built KPI dashboards and operating metrics from scratch, led strategic planning that supported 22% first-year revenue growth, and designed an estimating model that increased fabrication revenue 42% within two years. I also strengthened organizational health through benefits, compensation, financial reporting, executive communications, and high-priority client escalation management.

Previously at Goldman Sachs, I partnered with Americas Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities leadership on strategic planning, workforce planning, executive reviews, talent processes, business continuity, and the São Paulo office launch. I also managed a global CRM and analytics platform used by 1,800 salespeople and rolled out revenue reporting to 800 Fixed Income professionals.

My earlier work at JPMorgan Chase spanned recruiting, internal consulting, financial analysis, and business analysis. I’ve improved operational workflows, built reporting and reconciliation systems, reduced manual effort, and delivered $3M in annual savings through data-quality improvements.
