i've held titles such as chief of staff, director of operations, strategic advisor, head of strategic initiatives and currently vp of operations. my most notable contribution was at novo where i focused on scaling business operations through a $120m to $700m valuation increase. these days i split my time between strategic initiatives at aldea, and my mentoring and advising practice.

i have a knack for building from 0 to 1 — turning messy startup problems into clean operational systems that let companies scale without breaking. most of my work happens in the spaces between departments, with teams that prioritize substance over style, and leaders who aren't afraid to make hard decisions. i'm told i'm direct, ask good questions, and believe straightforward conversations solve more problems than longer meetings.
