I'm a PMP and CSM certified fractional Chief of Staff and Executive Project Manager with 14 years of experience leading internal + client-facing engagements, building revenue ops, streamlining operational workflows, and establishing PMO infrastructure for SaaS/tech startups, cybersecurity firms, and Fortune 1000 enterprise organizations. Most companies reach a point where the founder/CEO's vision is clear but they lack the operational architecture to execute efficiently and effectively, or what exists hasn't kept pace with growth. Delivery is inconsistent, revenue starts to plateau, client satisfaction is declining, and the leadership team is unsure where the bottlenecks are. The gap between where the company is and where it needs to be keeps widening; technical and operational debt is piling up and the usual hotspot fixes for clients has turned into a roadmap of its own. I work at the intersection of business strategy and operational architecture: designing the systems, structures, and AI roadmaps that close that gap and help companies become well-oiled machines. Whether I'm building from zero or redesigning what's already in place, I start by mapping current state, stakeholder workflows, and ideal state. That process surfaces the real bottlenecks, not the assumed ones. From there, we prioritize by cost-benefit as a leadership group and build in the right order. WHAT CLIENTS HIRE ME FOR → PMO builds and client implementation rescues — Smartsheet, Asana, Jira, Notion, ClickUp, Monday → Cross-functional leadership alignment — OKRs, KPIs, delivery frameworks, communication cadences, and decision matrixes for C-Suite and VP-level leaders → Defining SOPs — process mapping, sales, operations, and client delivery playbooks, and risk, change, and cost management frameworks → Cost tracking and margin analysis — surfacing hidden losses in project or program delivery and broken pricing models → Portfolio and project backlog management across internal and external teams → Revenue operations — sales pipeline, client onboarding, churn prevention → Client Onboarding & Implementations — enterprise client project management - standardizing and defining process, tools, templates, and team performance metrics → AI stack audit, automation mapping, and phased AI roadmap → Scrum implementation and Agile coaching for engineering teams → GTM strategy and multi-channel marketing — inbound marketing, network marketing, and content marketing RECENT RESULTS: ✔ 40% increase in on-time delivery · 75% CSAT improvement · $750K overhead recovered — Series B Construction AI SaaS ✔ 50 international go-lives in 5 months · 83% of 90-project backlog addressed — Global Cybersecurity Enterprise ✔ $57K+ in hidden client implementation losses surfaced by building cost tracking from scratch — Boutique Cybersecurity MSP ✔ $2.3M Client onboarding and implementation PMO built from zero · Collaborated with CFO of Client Delivery FP&A · 2 engineering teams moved to Scrum — Series B AI SaaS Startup ✔ $462.5M Fortune 1000 divestiture delivered on a hard legal deadline — mid-pandemic Industries: B2B SaaS · Cybersecurity · Construction Tech · Financial Services · Digital Marketing · M&A / Divestitures · B2C Coaching and Training TOOLS & PLATFORMS: • Project & PMO: Asana · Smartsheet · ClickUp · Jira · Monday · Notion · Trello · Confluence • CRM & RevOps: Salesforce · Pipedrive · Odoo · HubSpot • AI & Automation: Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini · Fireflies · Replit · Make/Relay.app · API integrations • Productivity: Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 · Slack · Zoom · Loom • Finance & Reporting: FP&A modeling · KPI dashboards · P&L oversight

I help software and product teams bring order to delivery. My work is centered on Agile delivery leadership, Scrum mastery, Jira hygiene, backlog clarity, stakeholder alignment, and cross-team execution. I’m usually brought in when teams need stronger planning, cleaner operating rhythms, better visibility into blockers and dependencies, or a calmer path to delivery. I’ve supported startups, mid-sized companies, and enterprise organizations across healthcare, government, SaaS, and regulated environments. My background includes leading delivery across large SAFe programs, coaching Scrum Masters and delivery leaders, improving release predictability, and helping teams adopt practical Agile ways of working without creating process overhead. Clients typically hire me to: * stand up or repair Scrum and Agile delivery practices * clean up Jira boards, workflows, and backlog management * improve planning, prioritization, and team accountability * identify blockers, cross-team dependencies, and delivery risk earlier * coach teams and leaders toward stronger execution If you need someone who can step into a messy delivery environment, create structure quickly, and help your team move with more clarity and less friction, I’d be glad to talk.
