Fractional Chief of Staff • Strategic Operations Partner • Executive Advisor

Helping Companies Grow Without Losing Focus or People

I work with founders and executive teams to align strategy with execution, by building operating models, decision frameworks, and team systems that scale.

What I Do

You’re scaling fast.

But under the surface? Misalignment. Bottlenecks. Too many priorities. Teams pulling in different directions.

I help you fix that, with structure, systems, and sharp execution.

Here’s how I support growth-stage companies:

  • Fractional Chief of Staff: Align strategy with execution. Set up the operating rhythms, decision-making processes, and internal systems that keep your team moving forward, without pulling the CEO into every fire.

  • Strategic Operations Partner: Translate vision into execution. I build the frameworks, planning cycles, and cross-functional coordination that make strategy stick.

  • People & Team Systems: Design role clarity, feedback loops, and performance infrastructure that scale.

  • Executive Advisor: Work one-on-one with founders and execs to help them lead through complexity, scale smart, and stay focused on what matters most.

Who I Work With

I work with Executives and Founders who are:

  • Scaling fast and know their current systems won’t survive another quarter.

  • Stuck in decision loops, role confusion, or team friction that slows execution.

  • Done with surface-level “leadership” and ready to build real operational depth.

  • Looking for a strategic operator, not a yes-person, with behavioral insight, financial fluency, and no ego.

Why Work With Me

I bring 20+ years of experience across finance, operations, and executive leadership — partnering with high-growth companies where clarity, structure, and execution aren’t optional.

I’ve negotiated deals, operated as a CFO, built systems as a Chief of Staff, and advised executive teams through scale, transition, and transformation. I don’t show up with theories, I build what works under pressure.

My advantage?

I combine strategic operations with neuroscience-backed behavior design, so the systems we build aren’t just aligned on paper. They work in real time, with real people, in high-stakes environments.

If you’re growing fast and need an operator who can match your pace with precision, we should talk.
