What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior remote advisory, operations, or e-commerce consulting role. I thrive in fully asynchronous, written-first, documentation-heavy workflows with deliverable-based project structures—open to project consulting or fractional COO/strategy work.

I’m a results-driven CEO and Operations Leader with 10+ years of experience scaling businesses and driving sustainable profitability. I lead full-cycle strategy, operational execution, financial management, procurement, and client relations—achieving measurable outcomes like a 35% debt reduction and 15% cost savings while maintaining high-quality client relationships.

I’m especially strong in remote & async operations, coordinating global vendors across multiple time zones through written communication, purchase orders, and documented workflows. I build and lead high-performance teams and implement structured budgeting and accounting processes (Peachtree), while securing and presenting project proposals that support consistent year-over-year pipeline growth. I’m now actively seeking a senior remote advisory, operations, or e-commerce consulting role in an async-first environment.
