What I'm looking for

I seek roles partnering with senior leaders to drive strategy-to-execution, scale operations, and build governance, culture, and measurable performance.

I am a strategic and execution-focused leader with 10+ years helping CEOs and senior executives translate vision into operating plans and tangible outcomes across government, private, nonprofit, and education sectors. I have led enterprise-wide initiatives spanning SaaS adoption, AI, cloud migration, cybersecurity, organizational redesign, KPI/OKR development, and scaled operations from 8 to 44 concurrent projects while growing program budgets substantially.

I serve as a trusted advisor and high-impact partner to C-suite leaders, crafting executive-ready narratives, designing leadership operating rhythms, and building dashboards and prioritization frameworks that inform decisions. Recognized for integrity, discretion, and measurable impact, I combine strategic planning, operational excellence, and cross-functional influence to deliver technology adoption, business operations, and culture-building outcomes.
