About

Global leader with extensive experience in growing businesses and addressing challenges that arise as they scale. I actively leverage my 20+ years of experience in engineering operations, management consulting, start-ups / scale-ups, and investing to drive impact in investments, non-profits, and the community. Today, I work closely with growth-stage businesses, often run by founders, partnering with management teams and investment teams to unlock value across strategy, GTM acceleration, M&A integration, org design, team development, and many more operational opportunities that arise as businesses transition from "something" to "scale".
