About
As a strategic operations leader and Chief of Staff with 15+ years in tech, I transform executive vision into measurable outcomes. I've led successful fundraising efforts ($25M Series D), managed PE transactions ($200M), and scaled organizations from 40 to 500 employees. My track record includes implementing systems that reduced administrative time by 25%, improved launch efficiency by 15%, and increased employee satisfaction by 40%. I excel at optimizing operations through data-driven methodologies, having reallocated $1M+ in budgets while maintaining cost neutrality. My expertise spans SOC 2 compliance, HRIS implementation, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Apple and Amazon. I combine analytical rigor with strong stake
