I am a dynamic and results-driven executive leader with over 10 years of experience in optimizing operational processes and driving business growth. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in process improvement, risk management, and strategic planning, particularly within technology startups and manufacturing sectors. I am passionate about leveraging technology and data-driven decision-making to solve complex problems and deliver operational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have successfully trained over 20 business leaders and facilitated financial literacy campaigns for more than 100 candidates, significantly improving their financial practices. My role as Chief of Operations at Livara Manufacturing saw me design and implement systems that reduced losses by 40% and increased revenues by 50% within a year. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am dedicated to fostering high-performance cultures that align operational strategies with organizational goals.
