What I'm looking for
I'm a seasoned Project Management, Operations Systems, and Client Success leader with over 20 years of experience. My career has been dedicated to helping organizations diagnose problems, optimize processes, and deliver exceptional client experiences. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can leverage my skills to turn around projects that are off track and ensure they meet strategic goals.
Throughout my career, I've successfully managed multi-million-dollar programs and led cross-functional teams across various sectors, including corporate, agency, and startups. My background as a business owner and consultant has equipped me with the unique ability to identify operational bottlenecks and implement effective solutions. I take pride in my ability to build systems from scratch and guide clients through complex challenges, ensuring they achieve measurable results.
I'm currently seeking opportunities in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where I can contribute my expertise in project management and operations systems. I believe in fostering a culture of innovation and growth, and I'm eager to help teams scale effectively while maintaining a focus on quality and client satisfaction.
