What I'm looking for

I'm focused on helping organizations eliminate operational friction through scalable marketing, creative, and technology operating models, AI-enabled workflows, governance, automation, and lasting change adoption.

I've led marketing and creative operations transformation at Chewy, Wells Fargo, Target, and Curious Plot, building enterprise operating models, workflow governance, and GTM systems that improve execution at scale.

At Chewy, I reduced GTM delivery timelines by five weeks, implemented AI-enabled automation that reduced more than 250,000 annual manual hours, and designed systems supporting a $10M+ marketing and creative portfolio. At Wells Fargo and Target, I led global delivery, Agile transformation, lean process redesign, and cross-functional governance that reduced bottlenecks, rework, and costs.

Through Quintessential Consulting, I help organizations remove operational friction across marketing, creative, technology, and business operations. I turn complex strategy into practical, scalable systems spanning AI governance, workflow optimization, operating models, vendor strategy, and change adoption.
