I’m a systems-minded operator who likes hard problems and messy workflows. I tend to get pulled into situations where things are unclear, time is tight, and someone needs to turn chaos into something that actually works. I move fast in ambiguity, but I care just as much about building processes and tools that hold up once things scale. At Deel, I serve as a “Ghostbuster” in the CEO/COO office (yes, that’s the real title). It’s essentially special projects across operations, GTM, and product. I get dropped into high-impact problems, map the real bottlenecks, and build the systems or tooling to fix them. More recently, as the Acting GM for Deel HR, I help lead our HRIS and Engage verticals, partnering closely with product and engineering to drive adoption, strategy, and revenue. I’ve contributed to Deel’s growth from roughly $50M to more than $1B in ARR by leading work across global payroll operations, HR product strategy, and AI automation. I also help build internal AI copilots and operational tools that unlock real leverage across teams. My edge is range paired with execution: I can help shape the strategy, build the automation myself, and then drive cross-functional alignment at founder speed inside a billion-dollar environment. A few principles I work by: • Make the problem brutally clear before solving it • Build systems and not one-off projects • Use AI as a force multiplier • Operate with ownership, speed, and kindness
