CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADER DRIVING CUSTOMER-CENTRIC
STRATEGIES & GROWTH THROUGH COLLABORATIVE EXECUTION
I am a Strategic Product and Operations Lead who thrives at the junction of high-scale technology and the arts. Whether I’m architecting a global ticketing engine or sitting behind the drum kit at a gig, my focus is the same: removing the friction between the creator and the audience.
My career has been defined by bringing order from chaos—whether modernizing eCommerce ecosystems for 750+ artist storefronts or directing the digital transformation of national media platforms. I build the governance frameworks and Scaled Agile playbooks that allow fragmented organizations to move with synchronized excellence.
I am a "bilingual" leader who translates C-suite financial targets into actionable product roadmaps that teams believe in. I focus on removing bottlenecks, mitigating risk, and fostering cultures of accountability where delivery meets the highest technical and creative standards.
Core Expertise:
- Strategic Governance: Defining the roadmaps and project frameworks that drive institutional alignment.
- Operational Stewardship: Standardizing workflows and establishing the SOPs that ensure quality at scale.
- Stakeholder Orchestration: Building consensus across diverse internal divisions, vendors, and partners.
- Fiscal Oversight: Managing multi-million dollar portfolio budgets with a focus on cost-efficient delivery.
Beyond the Boardroom: I am a lifelong musician and advocate for the arts, currently serving as Vice President of the Westside Youth Orchestra. I believe the discipline of live performance is the ultimate training ground for managing complex, high-stakes business operations.
