Operator building durable systems at scale

Former CEO/COO with 19+ years running real businesses. I design operating systems, scale teams, and deploy applied AI to remove friction in complex organizations.

• Scaled revenue from $13M to $44M and exited to a PE-backed strategic
• Built operating playbooks across sales, ops, finance, and delivery
• Led services-heavy businesses with real-world constraints
• Apply AI where it compounds leverage, not where it demos well
