I help founders, COOs, and leadership teams turn messy operations and messy data into clear decisions, accountable teams, and scalable systems.

HOW I WORK
I like to understand the business first, then use analytics and technology to improve it.
That usually means asking:
• What is leadership trying to accomplish?
• What does the data actually say?
• Where is the process breaking down?
• Who owns the next step?
• What can be automated?
• What truly needs executive attention?
I work U.S.-friendly hours and am comfortable working directly with founders, COOs, sales leaders, recruiting teams, finance, vendors, and technical teams.
