Full-Stack COO | Transforming with Tech and AI

I'm currently building the most efficient operations function the world has ever seen with technology, artificial intelligence, and great process to transform the delivery of services. I'm an operational leader focused on the people, culture, systems, technology, and data that make companies great. I hire, develop, and retain the best talent, build the culture, systems, and tools they need to succeed, and turn individuals and teams into organizations that get results. I have a wide range of skills that enable me to build and optimize a diverse set of areas and solve (almost) any problem: OPERATIONS: Extensive experience building and running company operations, keeping Kickstarter organized and efficient while scaling from a startup with $28M in pledges and 20 people to an organization with $480M in pledges and over 75 people, and transforming TeachersPayTeachers from a bootstrapped product with 20 employees into a high-functioning results-oriented 100-person organization.
