With over 18 years of experience across industries as far-ranging and disparate as aircraft maintenance, ecommerce fulfillment, oil and gas, immigration law, healthcare, and education, among others, am proud to be entering a fifth year as a one-hundred-percent, location-independent consultant. I endeavor to continue to LEARN HARD and WORK HARDER! I have led multiple global organizations that range in size from 50 to 300 personnel and specialize in e-tail, e-commerce, and retail migration. I also have a 'traditional' logistics skillset, especially when it comes to aircraft operations, airframe logistics, project management, inventory control, and continuous process improvement. Bottom-line is that I produce high-quality work on time, on cost, and on spec and which is backed by not one, but TWO Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certifications (USAF and GE). I have a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Area Studies with a minor in Russian and general engineering as well as a Master of Science in Logistics Management. I completed all coursework for my MBA at Strathclyde Business School in Scotland in September 2019. I am a bibliophile and runner that is passionate about leadership, learning, management, think tanks, writing, politics, and current events. Thank you in advance for your time.

My experience also covers SEO, CRO, email marketing, lifecycle marketing, content strategy and B2B and SaaS lead generation, along with ecommerce marketing on Shopify and Amazon Seller Central.

I help businesses improve operations, build structure, and strengthen execution as they grow. Former CEO who built and scaled a company to $10M+ by developing systems, improving workflows, and driving execution across teams. I specialize in uncovering inefficiencies, improving operations, and increasing profitability. If you're dealing with bottlenecks, unclear processes, or things not running as efficiently as they should, I can step in, assess the situation, and implement solutions that improve visibility, accountability, and consistency across operations. I focus on identifying what actually matters — what’s causing friction, what’s being missed, and where improvements will have the biggest impact. I built and operated service-based businesses for over 14 years, scaling operations to support multi-million dollar annual revenue and a large customer base. This gave me a strong, hands-on understanding of how businesses function day-to-day — and where things tend to break down. With experience across operations, customer experience, and financial oversight, I approach problems with both a strategic and practical lens — understanding not just what’s wrong, but why it matters and how to fix it. I’m particularly strong at reviewing processes, platforms, and customer-facing experiences, and delivering clear, structured improvements that teams can implement and use immediately. If you're looking for practical, results-driven operational support— I’d be glad to help. **I’ve included sample audits and reviews in my portfolio that show how I approach identifying inefficiencies, improving customer experience, and providing clear, actionable recommendations.**
