Strategic operations leader with 15+ years scaling design studios, creative teams, and digital product orgs across high-growth startups, enterprise tech, and consumer brands. Equally fluent running the studio (operating model, sprint cadence, resource allocation, significant P&Ls) and running the partnerships (C-suite client management, complex multi-stakeholder negotiations, third-party vendor strategy). Known for transforming chaotic ambition into shipped products, experiences and campaigns — building the operating system underneath the work, scaling teams from 4 to 70+, and consistently delivering at the intersection of brand, design, product, and business.
