I help founders and leaders turn their vision into a working operating system, helping create clear priorities, strong execution rhythms, and teams capable of making decisions autonomously while performing under pressure. My background spans leading complex, high-stakes operations and building systems that show resilience in fact-paced environments, with a small margin for error. I’m especially effective with founders who feel like they’re carrying everything themselves, teams that are growing faster than their processes, or startups that need to tighten execution before scaling or expanding partnerships. If you want an advisor who will help you create structure without slowing you down, while helping you actually implement: let’s work. Typical outcomes I help drive: - Creating clear priorities from the beginning and through scaling - Execution and operational cadence (weekly rhythms, metrics, accountability) - Organizational structure and role clarity, reducing redundancy and friction between staff - Developing and fosting culture and leadership behaviors that scale at all levels of the org - Operational readiness for growth, partnerships, or fundraising
