About Aleana Groenhout

Technical Project Management, Process Optimization, Strategic CommunicationA lover of people, organizationally inclined and analytical, I’ve vacillated between operations and sales roles at mission-driven organizations. I have experiences such as a top, quota-exceeding Account Executive at a unicorn-status mental health startup and Sales Operations Lead who laid the operational foundation for a fintech startup that achieved 142% revenue growth from 70M to 170M in 1 year. I thrive in project-based roles and have successfully managed projects of varying scales across different organizations; timelines spanning from 2 weeks to 9 months. Adept at communicating cross-functionally and with clients, I organize in ambiguity and collaborate through conflict to get everyone on track to achieve our goals. Trained in Finance and Analytics, I can design technical processes and conduct data and financial analysis using tools like Excel, empowering my team to make informed, data-driven decisions.Beyond my professional passions, I love volunteering with the houseless community, dancing, making self-love video content on social media, and being outside, whether in a park with my friends or climbing one of our local mountain peaks. You can usually catch me smiling or giggling - I love to make light of the complexity of life and find purpose in community and how we support each other. There are a lot of hard problems to solve in the world right now. I\'m passionate about bringing smart and motivated people together to enact change.
