PROFILE
Chief of Staff and founder's force-multiplier with 7 years running operations beside CEOs and owners. I take the scattered,
cross-functional load off a founder's desk and turn it into a system that runs without them in every loop — operating cadence,
org design, KPIs, hiring, and AI-automated internal ops. Independent contractor, remote, invoice-based; no sponsorship or
relocation needed.

SIGNATURE RESULTS
• 2× revenue in 12 months (+$1.4M) as interim COO — both co-founders fully out of daily operations by month 12;
company later listed in Forbes Next 250.
• 3× lower dev costs at a Silicon Valley AI agency by restructuring engineering hiring; refocused the business on its highest-
value accounts after analyzing 4 years of revenue.
• 29 processes mapped into $4–8K/mo of automations for a multi-city US operator; built a Claude-based pipeline running
~95% automated.
• Solo founder →15-person team, 250+ clients across 50+ industries; 5× revenue growth 2021–2023.

HOW I OPERATE
Operating cadence: strategic planning, leadership rhythm, KPI/OKR systems, special-projects execution, P&L and cashflow
analysis.
Org & people: org design, hiring key roles, team building, onboarding systems, performance management.
AI leverage: n8n (certified), Claude + Claude Team + MCP integrations, Zapier, Fireflies, Notion, Slack, Linear — I remove
work, not just manage it.
