Olivia Pagel
@oliviapagel
Program and operations manager who builds systems teams rely on.
What I'm looking for
I've worked across industries, geographies, and disciplines, and learned something valuable in each. What stays consistent is how I operate: I dive into new environments fast, figure out what's needed, and get things done.
I'm someone who can manage a lot of moving pieces at once while staying calm when things get chaotic, prioritizing fast, and always looking for ways to make the process easier and better next time. Finding more efficient ways to work genuinely energizes me, whether that's building operational infrastructure from scratch, working with teams to turn real problems into working solutions, or identifying the process gap nobody else has stopped to fix yet.
My background spans operations, program management, and sales, and that combination makes me a stronger operator. I build trust quickly and communicate across every level of an organization.
Drawn to mission-driven work at the intersection of climate, community, and impact.
Based in Bellingham, WA, open to remote opportunities and occasional travel.
