I am a business professional with **+ years
of starting and growing businesses. I aspire
to leverage my skills at a dynamic company
with a strong team and customer-centered
culture.
My ability to bridge both the technical and
business sides of a company enables me to
assemble, lead, challenge, and grow
exceptional teams; concurrently supporting
a company's short and long-term mission-
critical objectives. I am resourceful, adaptive, and proficient in nearly all business functions, but thrive as a leader within change management, operations, and product-focused capacities. I maintain the vision necessary to foresee project risks and adapt to avoid pitfalls. I operate fluidly within any level of an organization, forge strong stakeholder relationships, and facilitate effective communication to ensure full buy-in. I have a penchant for seeing what's missing, maintain a customer-first ethos, and work closely with agile teams to remove barriers and bridge continuity gaps—achieving objectives, concept to delivery, at exceptional speed.
