I'm a business development and growth strategist with over a decade of experience across telecommunications, energy, health and wellness, healthcare compliance, tech, and media. The common thread across all of it has been helping organizations identify opportunity, build the systems to pursue it, and close the gap between strategy and execution. My background spans both ends of the spectrum. I have directly overseen supply chains and led large-scale marketing campaigns as a Chief Business Development Officer, and been the lead on stage at major tech conferences. I have been directly responsible for the creation of GTM infrastructures from scratch as a Lead Technical Advisor. If you need end-to-end execution, I am comfortable advising in many capacities. I hold a Fractional CAIO (Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer) accreditation from an accredited institution. In practice, this means I help organizations think clearly about where AI creates real leverage in their operations and how to integrate it without losing the human judgment that actually drives outcomes. I believe in human first and human last modalities. On Upwork, I maintain a 100% Job Success Score and Top Rated status. I take on work I can do well, and I see it through. On Upwork, I specialize in Revenue & Growth Strategy Go-to-market development, ICP definition, pipeline architecture, and sales infrastructure. I've built these systems across healthcare, tech, and professional services: including full Apollo/CRM setup and outbound sequence development. Business Development & Sales Lead generation, negotiation, and client acquisition. I work at both the strategic and execution level. I will handle outreach for the right opportunity. AI Integration & Fractional CAIO Services Helping organizations understand where AI creates leverage and where it introduces risk. I design AI-augmented workflows, advise on tooling, and build frameworks that keep human decision-making at the centre of the process. Writing & Strategic Communications Investor decks, pitch scripts, cold email sequences, brand narratives, and content. Clear, specific, and written to sound like a person. I have always communicated that internalizing brand narratives is what makes them authentic and compelling. Authenticity drives credibility. Events & Networking Strategy High-stakes representation and relationship development at conferences and industry events. I understand how to navigate a room, identify the right conversations, and build relationships that carry past the event itself.

Your company is growing, but your leadership bandwidth is pushed to the limit. You have the team and the revenue, but instead of focusing on long term strategy, market expansion, or exit positioning, you are stuck refereeing internal friction and managing daily ad hoc bottlenecks. I architect the operational systems, automated workflows, and team structures that allow companies to scale predictably or prepare for a highly profitable sale. As a Fractional/Interim COO and Operations Architect, I step into high growth SaaS, Finance, and complex tech ecosystems to solve structural chaos using three core levers: 1. Connecting fractured technical systems and automating workflows so your data and tools talk to each other without human friction. 2. Restructuring compensation models, optimizing hiring frameworks, and leading people to high performance without reactive management styles. 3. Seeing the hidden leaks in your current operations, finding the missing synergies, and closing the structural deals required to capture that money. --- Past clients snippets • Scaled a high growth company from $400K to $1.6M in revenue in under 12 months by completely restructuring team operations, optimizing the hiring pipeline, and redesigning the incentive/payment architecture. • Handled complex, high-stakes operational transitions for founders looking to step back from daily operations or maximize valuation for an acquisition. --- HOW WE WORK TOGETHER Because I operate at a high strategic level, my onboarding is rapid and designed to protect your time: • Week 1: Deep Dive Diagnostic & Audit (Systems, Team, & Bottlenecks) • Week 2: The Operational Blueprint (Identifying revenue leaks & synergy opportunities) • Week 3 & Beyond: Active Leadership & Execution (Running alignment meetings, deploying automations, restructuring team metrics) If you are a founder ready to hand over the operational reins to a fast, strategic leader who can scale your vision beyond recognition let’s talk.

I help teams fix messy Salesforce setups, clean up broken processes, and build workflows that actually get used. Whether your CRM is cluttered, your onboarding is inconsistent, or your team is working around a system that was never set up right — I step in, figure out what’s wrong, and fix it in a way that sticks. I’ve worked across onboarding, CRM optimization, support operations, account management, and process documentation. I focus on making things simpler, more accurate, and easier for everyone on the team to actually follow. I’m fast, responsive, and I get to the root of problems quickly — not just the surface issue. I also use the latest AI tools and agents to speed up the work, so things like documentation, data cleanup, workflow mapping, and day-to-day problem solving get done in a fraction of the time. That means faster results and better value without cutting corners. I’m also good at the people side of this work. I’ve worked with teams that push back on change, stakeholders who are hard to align, and environments where everyone has a strong opinion about how things should work. I listen, gather honest feedback, and help move things forward without creating more friction. I can help with: Salesforce and CRM cleanup Data accuracy and record organization Workflow audits and process improvement AI-assisted documentation and SOP creation User support and onboarding improvements Training materials and internal guides Cross-team communication and feedback Improving adoption across teams and departments I focus on practical solutions that actually get used — not overcomplicated systems that sit untouched. References available upon request. If you need someone who can quickly understand your operations, clean up your CRM, and fix what’s slowing your team down — let’s talk.
