What I'm looking for

I seek senior content leadership roles where I can lead editorial teams, drive SEO-focused content strategy, implement workflow improvements, and mentor creators in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.

I am a Lead Editor and content strategist with extensive experience building and managing editorial teams, developing content strategies, and producing SEO-optimized articles across crypto, finance, education, and gaming. I have led cross-functional teams, implemented workflow automation, and authored educational courses that scaled user engagement and quality standards.

Throughout my career I have managed large teams and full product lifecycles—from MVP to millions of users—while maintaining editorial voice, localization accuracy, and measurable SEO performance. I prioritize clear processes, mentoring, and data-driven content decisions to boost production speed and content impact.
