Transforming Ideas Into Scalable, High-Impact Programs

I’ve spent the last several years leading complex, multi-million-dollar initiatives across Apple and Google, streamlining operations, improving efficiency, and building systems that scale. I’m passionate about solving messy problems, partnering with cross-functional teams, and turning strategy into clear execution.

 

Whether it's optimizing workflows, driving AI-powered improvements, or managing global teams, I care about creating work that’s thoughtful, efficient, and genuinely useful. Outside of work, I also volunteer as a meditation and breathwork instructor, which keeps me grounded and balanced.
