San Francisco, California, United States
With high EQ, a spine, and nerves of steel, I act as the operational right hand to high-velocity leaders building great things. My lane: operating rhythms, board and audit committee governance, investor relations infrastructure, and crisis continuity. Systems that let C-suite leaders move fast without breaking things. For 6+ years at Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), I was Chief of Staff inside the Office of the CFO. I was the person who made sure no executive ever walked into a room unprepared. I served two CFOs through IPO-era growth, a going-concern disclosure, and a full acquisition wind-down by Bending Spoons. High stakes weren't the exception; they were the operating environment. What I actually do: I find where execution breaks down between teams, the gaps between Finance, Legal, Product, and Comms where accountability leaks and decisions stall, and I build the systems that close them. The results: → Built Eventbrite's Audit Committee process from scratch and ran it end-to-end across 7+ cross-functional stakeholders. Never missed a cycle. → Delivered two consecutive years of zero-disruption earnings cycles for 50+ institutional investors, coordinating 6 teams across 3 time zones. → Co-architected a global executive signatory workflow across 8 business units that cut filing errors by 37%. → Led company-wide annual planning, owning global headcount pipelines and resource allocation models. → Produced a full Analyst Day in New York. 9 executives, 3 days, zero dropped balls. → Built AI-powered extraction layers (Jira, Monday.com, webhooks + LLMs) that turn scattered communication threads into clean executive dashboards. The problem I solve: scaling companies rarely have execution problems, they have alignment problems. Decisions get made before forecasts are verified. Staff meetings become status theater. Critical work dies in chat threads. I walk into that fog and build the operating rhythm that lets leadership see clearly and move fast. I'm now looking for my next Chief of Staff or Strategic Operations role supporting C-suite leaders and global business units at a public or pre-IPO tech company. If your systems haven't caught up to your ambition, that's exactly the gap I close. 📩 Open to connecting: LinkedIn DMs are open.
