I’m a strategy and operations leader who turns complex challenges into clear, measurable results.I\'ve helped large organizations launch new programs, grow revenue, optimize operations, and make smarter, faster decisions. Whether it\'s fixing sales processes, scaling new initiatives, or building highly accurate models, I bring a builder’s mindset to every strategy.I\'m at my best when leading cross-functional initiatives, translating data into action, and partnering with leadership teams to drive real outcomes. I believe strategy should be practical, not theoretical — and every plan should be built to deliver.Outside of work, I’m a proud Georgetown MBA and Penn State grad, lifelong learner, and firm believer that great businesses are built by teams that move fast, stay focused, and execute with purpose.If you\'re passionate about building high-performing organizations — or just want to swap ideas — feel free to connect.

Experience

1. Associate Director - Strategy and Operations

   Gartner

   Oct 2023 — Present · New York, NY, US

   I lead strategy and operations for Gartner’s global Conferences business. I’m responsible for how the business plans, prioritizes, and invests — from revenue and growth strategy to operating rhythm and execution.My role sits at the intersection of strategy and day-to-day decision-making: building the models leaders actually use, pressure-testing assumptions, launching new programs, and helping the business respond when the numbers don’t match the narrative.I work closely with senior leadership across sales, marketing, product, and operations to turn strategy into concrete plans and outcomes.
