What I Do

I make creative operations smarter, faster, and more profitable. My specialty is helping small companies (10–50 employees) build the systems they need to scale. With 17 years of experience, I know how to achieve sustainable growth efficiently.

How I Add Value

I can manage IC’s and managers and know how to collaborate with executives. I held two VP positions where I reported directly to CEO’s. I’ve spent my entire career so far in creative services, having worked at the world’s largest ad agencies and at small startups.

Systems I design drive efficiency and revenue. I add clarity, (re)build frameworks (OKRs, KPIs, career ladders, pricing strategy, etc.). When operations have become too cumbersome, cost-heavy, or fraud with convoluted processes, I can assess and simplify them again, saving time and money.

I’ve managed teams of various sizes between 10 to 100 people, and P&L’s up to $25M. I’ve led agencies to reach an average 96 NPS working with brands like Spotify, Nike, Adidas, NBCU, Bloomberg, Venmo, Lululemon, and more. I don’t just improve operations for creative services businesses, I make them a competitive advantage.

Functional Interests and Target Positions

Industry: Creative Services (advertising/marketing agencies, design/branding studios, architecture/interior design firms, etc.) or SaaS startups in the AdTech/MarTech/AI-assisted production space.

Position: Head/VP/Director of Operations or Chief of Staff at a small and growing company: somewhere between 10 and 150 people strong. I thrive when I am given a mountain of complex operational problems, and creative freedom to solve them in my own unique ways.
