About

Professional summary

I am a high-agency strategic operations leader and Chief of Staff–level partner with more than 15 years of experience translating executive vision into scalable operational programs. I have supported senior leaders across global technology organizations, high-growth ventures, and regulated healthcare operations.

I lead cross-functional planning, governance, and execution across Product, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, Operations, and external partner ecosystems. I am experienced in managing strategic portfolios, facilitating executive QBRs, establishing operational cadences, and improving organizational alignment.

At Red Hat, I led global Financial Services Industry initiatives, business readiness programs, sales enablement, onboarding paths, and knowledge-management ecosystems. I partnered directly with executive leadership to operationalize priorities and create repeatable regional and global delivery models.

In my current strategic operations role, I direct planning, compliance, quality assurance, staffing, financial coordination, and policy documentation across multiple healthcare facilities. I lead multidisciplinary teams and build frameworks that support audit readiness, service quality, and sustainable growth.

I also bring entrepreneurial and community-building experience as the co-founder of a digital platform that grew to more than 10,000 members. I combine operational rigor, stakeholder management, communication, and program leadership to help organizations execute complex initiatives with measurable impact.
