I build scalable operational systems that create organizational leverage.

At a film union, I designed a tracking system for six reps managing thousands of crew members that served compliance, training, and contract enforcement. It delivered the first improvements to contract language in over 15 years.

At BMW's training agency, I overhauled coordination for 350 dealerships, cutting overhead by half with Airtable and Zapier automations that were replicated org-wide.

I manage operations at scale with limited resources. I've handled $4-5M operating budgets and led 8-12 staff across shared services, training, compliance, field operations, and administration. I build systems that enable small teams to deliver enterprise-level impact.

What drives me: working with leadership that's actually committed to operational transformation, not change theater. I thrive in environments ready to level up, whether building new systems, optimizing what exists, or rebuilding after setbacks.

I don't just use tools. I evaluate, select, and drive org-wide adoption. Introduced Stripe, Airtable, Asana, Slack, and Zapier across organizations. Now expanding into AI-powered workflow automation with Claude, Perplexity, and ChatGPT.

"Give me a problem, and I'll wake up thinking about how to solve it."

Location: Remote/hybrid preferred, or on-site in Colorado or Texas
