obsessed with efficiency, smart systems, and happy teams.
With 15+ years of experience leading product, delivery, and operations, I’ve helped organizations—from Fortune 500s to lean startups—bring bold ideas to life and build the systems to support them.
Currently, I lead Product and Services at DockYard, a full-service digital consultancy, where I focus on building strong teams and operational systems that help our clients deliver with confidence. I’ve also launched digital products and led cross-functional teams at National Geographic, The Kroger Co., and 84.51°.
Those roles shaped my belief that strong operations and healthy teams are the foundation of great products—and that clarity, momentum, and trust are what drive real progress. I specialize in aligning teams and stakeholders, improving delivery efficiency, and building healthier ways of working. Whether you need fractional operations leadership, delivery consulting, or help rethinking how your team gets work done—I’d love to connect.

my values
Radical Transparency
I tell it like is, but with kindness. This means open communication, honest assessments, and sharing the “why” behind every decision—because trust thrives in the absence of guesswork.
( 01 )
Innovation at Speed
I believe in just enough process to move things forward. My method borrows from tried-and-true best practices, but it’s centered around unique people and business needs.

People-First Approach
Behind every challenge lies a human story. We dive deep into understanding your team, your org, and your vision before crafting solutions that resonate on both a strategic and personal level.
