Throughout my career, I’ve honed a flexible, solution-oriented approach that thrives in dynamic environments, whether in a scaling startup or an established organization.In my most recent role, I established the Professional Services Operations department from the ground up, serving as a key member of the Leadership Team. In this role, I contributed to offsite strategy planning sessions, process development, and KPI formulation. By implementing custom systems in Kantata, Jira, and Asana, I streamlined resource planning, reduced response times, and enhanced financial forecasting capabilities. My certifications in Lean Six Sigma and Scrum complement my focus on defining essential data and implementing effective tracking systems. This data-driven edge enables me to identify and implement sustainable improvements, facilitating informed strategic decisions that drive organizational success.Key Strengths and Achievements:•Startup Agility: Experienced in fast-paced, high-growth environments, I quickly adapt to shifting priorities and find scalable solutions that support growth.•Leadership: Known for creating unity from silos and bringing calm to challenging situations, I lead high-performing teams focused on efficiency and results.•Stakeholder Impact: With a collaborative and approachable style, I foster strong relationships, delivering thoughtful solutions that resonate with clients and stakeholders.Passionate about finding innovative solutions and turning ambiguity into clarity, I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals in operations, project management, and resource management.
