Building things
that actually
work at scale.

I'm a finance-turned-senior operator who built the things that make organizations actually work. I built global operational infrastructure from zero — managing $10M+ budgets, launching programs across 20+ countries, and serving as a trusted advisor to C-suite and Board.

The work went beyond programs — I built the systems, the teams, and the culture that made scaling possible. From implementing platforms for 10,000+ users, to leading global emergency response campaigns and initiatives that generated $1M+ in global giving — I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution.

After an intentional career break, I'm back — sharper, AI-fluent, and ready to build again.
