For the past 15 years, I’ve held operational leadership roles inside founder-led businesses. I’ve built workflows, untangled the org chart, developed high-performing teams, and established accountability rhythms. With strong operational foundations, I’ve helped companies achieve 10x revenue growth, scale teams from 2 to 15 people across departments, and learn what it takes to navigate rapid growth and business transformation.
After years of working alongside founders, I’ve found that I am most in my element when simplifying operational complexity. When a big-picture strategy requires bringing together various ideas, systems, or people into smoothly functioning solutions, I can confidently step in to help founders bridge the gap between ideation and execution.
As a founder’s right-hand operator, I design systems that optimize how the business operates, create accountability across teams, and ultimately free the founder to lead, not do.
My experience spans technology startups, venture capital & private equity, media, direct-to-consumer, and manufacturing, showing that the fundamentals of strong operations, structure, systems, and accountability translate across industries.
Throughout my career, I’ve held operations roles at an NYC-based tech startup, then moved to Chicago, where I worked alongside high-net-worth investors and high-profile tech founders. Eventually, it brought me to Colorado — where I learned what it actually takes to build an outdoor brand from the inside.
Denver, Colorado, is now home – here you can find me outside soaking up our 300 days of sunshine by a river, hiking or skiing in the mountains, or relaxing in my backyard. And if I’m not outside, I’m efficiently navigating an airport to explore new places, or I’m enjoying a glass of wine to deepen my industry knowledge.
A founder’s vision points to the frontier; Outpost Ops builds the traction to reach it.
Outpost Ops supports founders who need a seasoned partner to build the operational foundations needed to keep up with where their growth is headed.

Time is the one thing none of us gets back, so I try not to waste it. Purposeful discussions and preparedness, because respecting people's time is a way of respecting them.
-
I bring my authentic self and thoughts to the table – showing up fully is the best way to connect and create together. Be honest when it's uncomfortable, laugh when it’s funny, and always be kind.
-
I ask questions, seek new information, and notice patterns that connect things. That curiosity compounds into knowledge.
-
I don't advise from the sidelines and hand it back. I take the work on as my own, and I’m in it with you until results happen.
