Innovative Operations Leader: Scaling Startups, Building Systems, Navigating Crises | Former Marine aviator turned business leader

As an operations executive with over two decades of experience across energy, EV, and tech sectors, I've honed my skills in scaling startups, navigating crises, and optimizing complex operations. I thrive in unstructured, ambiguous environments, using my broad perspective to build high performing teams and drive results. My approach combines data-driven decision-making with a strong focus on people and culture. I have a combination of an engineering background and mindset with a psychology degree and experience in human and organizational behavior. That unique combination, as well as my journey from Marine Corps aviator to business leader, helps me approach situations from a distinct perspective. I'm equipped with a unique perspective on leadership and strategic execution. At Volta Charging, I played a pivotal role in driving 10x network growth, helping steer the company through its public offering and subsequent acquisition by Shell. I led crisis management efforts, navigating the company through a near 60% reduction in headcount while averting bankruptcy, and orchestrated the seamless integration of 160 employees post-acquisition. Most importantly, I bring passion and enthusiasm to everything I do and get excited about bringing out the best in others.
