What I'm looking for

I seek a senior operations or strategy role where I can scale teams and systems, lead cross-functional change, and drive measurable revenue and operational impact in AI or SaaS environments.

I am a senior strategy and operations leader with 14+ years building systems, scaling teams, and driving revenue growth across AI, SaaS, and tech-enabled businesses. I translate vision into execution and align cross-functional teams to deliver measurable results.

At Invisible Technologies I partnered with senior leadership to scale ARR from $25M to $170M in two years, operationalized company-wide OKRs, and built a global talent marketplace used by top AI model providers and enterprises. I built and led Training & Enablement, managed a $1M+ budget, and launched AI data training solutions at scale.

Previously I served as Chief of Staff for a coaching business, growing ARR 10x to $2.5M through licensing, operational systems, and a 50+ person remote team. I also have consulting experience delivering $300M+ in enterprise savings through Lean Six Sigma and process improvement.

I bring pragmatic systems thinking, cross-functional leadership, and hands-on product and operational experience. I hire and develop high-performing teams, drive ROI-focused investments, and implement scalable processes that support rapid growth and product-market fit.
