I build the systems, teams, and processes that help growing companies scale efficiently and effectively. Over 10 years I've taken a consulting organization from 1 to 160 people, designed training and certification programs for highly specialized professionals; MDs, lawyers, PhDs, researchers, built CRM platforms from the ground up, and partnered directly with founders on organizational strategy and growth planning.
I work across operations, customer success, training design, team development, and process optimization. I've also owned hiring and people operations, managed large-scale client onboarding, and built the accountability frameworks that made distributed teams perform consistently.
I give honest assessments, build practical solutions, and stay involved until the work is implemented and effective.

Growing companies don’t usually have a talent problem. They have a systems problem.
If your team is:
• Managing operations in spreadsheets
• Dropping client emails or follow-ups
• Running projects without clear ownership
• Scaling faster than your processes
• Using CRM/ERP tools that no one has fully structured
I help fix that.
I design and implement practical operating systems that bring structure without slowing you down. Where appropriate, I also help teams identify responsible ways to use AI inside existing workflows without creating more complexity, risk, or tool sprawl.
What I do:
• CRM selection, cleanup, and implementation
• ERP/CRM customization, workflow automation, and process alignment
• AI-assisted workflow review, documentation, and operational improvement
• Shared inbox & service desk setup
• SOP development that teams actually follow
• Change control & configuration management systems
• Revenue pipeline structure & accountability
• Jira, Zoho, Microsoft 365 integration
I’ve built structured operating models inside:
A 300+ employee defense technology organization
Government contracting environments
Multi-tool SaaS ecosystems — Zoho, Teams, Zoom, Microsoft 365, Jira
I am not a theorist. I build systems and make sure teams use them.
If you need clarity, ownership, and execution — let’s talk.
