Fractional Chief Operating Officer helping founders, CEOs, and executive teams scale their businesses through stronger operations, product execution, and commercial strategy.

I build the operating systems that enable companies to grow with confidence. Whether you're preparing for your next stage of growth, launching a new product, improving execution, or creating alignment across leadership, I bring the structure, accountability, and operational discipline needed to move faster without losing control.

Over the past decade, I've led transformation across AI, SaaS, healthcare, aviation, higher education, and technology organizations. My experience includes building the national operating platform behind the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, leading commercial and operational transformation for an international airline, and serving as Chief Operating Officer for an AI engineering company where I helped establish scalable delivery, commercialization, and governance.

I work best with organizations that have reached an inflection point. The vision is clear, but execution has become more complex. Teams are growing, priorities compete for attention, and the business needs stronger operating rhythms to continue scaling.

I can help you with:

• Fractional COO leadership

• Business transformation and operational strategy

• AI strategy and implementation

• Product operations and commercialization

• Executive operating systems, OKRs, and governance

• PMO design and transformation

• Revenue operations and go-to-market execution

• Organizational design and executive team alignment

Whether you need an executive partner for a strategic initiative, interim leadership during a period of change, or a trusted operator to help your business scale, I bring an execution-focused approach built on measurable business outcomes.
