I am a strategic operations and enablement leader with deep expertise in in governance, program management, and process improvement. With experience spanning corporate, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors, I bring a track record of designing systems that streamline execution, strengthen accountability, and align diverse stakeholders toward common goals.At American Express, I manage enterprise-wide initiatives that sit at the intersection of strategy, enablement, and culture. I advise 13 global Employee Resource Groups across 130+ chapters, while also designing frameworks and processes that enhance program execution and operational effectiveness. In this capacity, I’ve developed solutions that not only foster an inclusive culture but also ensure clarity, alignment, and measurable results across a workforce of employees.My career is anchored in building solutions that scale. At AVIA Health Innovation, I implemented governance and recruitment structures that increased team diversity by 35% and launched a company-wide ERG program that engaged 95% of underrepresented employees. At Boston Medical Center, I introduced a SaaS platform that streamlined patient access to community resources, improving efficiency across clinical workflows. I thrive on turning complex challenges into structured, actionable strategies. By combining an eye for process improvement with a commitment to people-centered outcomes, I help organizations operate with greater clarity and agility—while building cultures where employees and business goals can succeed together.
