About

I’m a senior operations executive and EOS Integrator focused on turning strategy into execution at scale. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led operations across telecommunications, fiber infrastructure, UCaaS, and managed services—owning P&L, building cross-functional teams, and driving measurable performance improvements across finance, compliance, delivery, supply chain, and customer experience. I specialize in operating at inflection points—where growth is constrained by inconsistent execution, unclear accountability, or fragmented systems. My work centers on building the infrastructure that allows businesses to scale: * KPI-driven operating cadence (EOS) * Financial discipline and cash flow visibility * Integrated systems across quoting, procurement, inventory, and billing * Clear accountability across functions and leadership teams I’m most effective in environments that require both structure and leadership—where teams need clarity, systems need to be rebuilt, and the business needs to translate vision into consistent results. I’m always focused on building durable, scalable operations and partnering with leadership teams to drive long-term performance. I value connecting with others in the industry who are solving similar challenges.
