Startup Operations Leader | People Ops Architect | Trusted Partner To Founding Teams
Calm under pressure. Obsessed with systems. Known for bringing structure to chaos and scaling what works. With 17+ years of executive support and 3+ years running startup operations, I’ve owned critical people, payroll, and compliance functions while enabling founders to focus on vision. I bring operational maturity, clear judgment, and end-to-end execution across HR, finance, and admin functions. I’m not here to take notes, I’m here to build what’s next.
