Hello!
I ask obvious questions like "what if this was easy?" - a mindset that has served me well across companies like Genesys, Twilio, and Red Hat. My sweet spot is finding ways to make complex business operations run smoothly, whether that's building analytics programs from scratch or helping product and sales teams work better together. I love diving into the details of how things work and finding creative ways to improve them, especially when it comes to scaling SaaS businesses.
When I'm not busy creating operational frameworks or leading strategic initiatives, you'll find me mentoring teams and helping organizations transform their big-picture goals into real, measurable results. Beyond the office, I coach youth soccer, prioritize family time, and pursue lifelong learning. Always ready for a challenge, whether it's implementing new technologies or finding creative solutions to everyday problems!
Getting to Know Me
I love working with people and solving big problems, but I also need quiet time to think and grow. You'll often find me learning something new or spending time outdoors when I'm recharging. I believe in being direct, honest, and kind - and I try to bring these qualities to everything I do.
