Chief Of Staff

I don’t do buzzwords. I do operations. I’ve spent years inside fast-moving companies fixing what’s broken, building what’s missing, and keeping the whole thing from falling apart. I work directly with founders, take ownership, and don’t mind getting my hands dirty — no ivory tower. I’m comfortable in the weeds and calm when things are on fire.
