I enjoy creating operational structure within teams without adding unnecessary complexity or overhead. I help growing SaaS companies streamline operations, optimize CRM systems, and build scalable workflows that improve visibility and reduce friction. Over the last 8+ years, I’ve led cross-functional systems and operations initiatives across GTM, business operations, and reporting environments — including CRM migrations and implementation, workflow automation, KPI reporting, data modeling, AI-assisted operational processes, and systems optimization. My background sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: I’m comfortable identifying operational bottlenecks at a high level, then diving into the details to define projects, improve workflows, reporting structures, documentation, and cross-functional processes. Highlights of my experience include: • Supporting CRM and operational workflows across 150+ internal users • Building KPI reporting frameworks and dashboards to improve business visibility • Streamlining operational processes through workflow optimization and automation • Leading systems migrations, operational cleanup initiatives, and process standardization efforts • Supporting adoption of new tools, workflows, and operational processes across teams Areas I commonly support clients with: • Salesforce + HubSpot optimization • GTM operations & process design • Reporting & dashboard strategy • Workflow automation & operational cleanup • AI-assisted operational workflows • Documentation, enablement, and process mapping • Cross-functional project/program management I’m especially effective in fast-moving environments where teams have outgrown their current systems and need scalable operational structure without unnecessary complexity or process overhead. Clients typically work with me when they need: ✔ A strategic operator who can also execute ✔ Clear communication and strong stakeholder management ✔ Someone who can independently drive projects forward ✔ A thoughtful systems-minded partner focused on scalable operational solutions I’m available for fractional support, operational projects, systems optimization, and ongoing advisory work.
