Every role I have held sits in the same place: between what leadership intends and what the organization actually does. At Nerium International, that meant seven years as strategic partner to the Chief Field Officer while the company grew from roughly $50M to $500M, translating C-suite strategy for a field of thousands who never reported to me, across eight international launches, and building training that reached 100,000 distributors.

At BOA Logistics, the work hardened. As Chief Strategy Officer of a $60M founder-led company, I owned the operational side of a twelve-month private equity sale: every diligence request, the data room, the CIM, and the board materials after close. Along the way I integrated seven departments, replaced spreadsheets with real systems, cut labor costs 58% with a nearshore program, and moved three entities into one 113,000 sq ft facility.

Independent since late 2024, I first did what operators do between chapters: evaluated early-stage concepts with founder teams across healthcare, CPG, and logistics. Then in April I pointed the same discipline at software. Three shipped products later, it turns out the gap between intent and execution is also where AI-driven development lives. I'm open to full-time roles doing exactly this, and to collaborators who want to build.

Off the clock: born and raised in Culver City, still there, with thirty-some countries seen in between. The creative side runs deep: decades as a dancer, a pianist, a performer. All of it transfers: timing, sequence, knowing when to come in.

Strategy is a claim about the future. Execution is the evidence.

Bring me the gap between the plan and the company.

Chief of staff, strategy, integration, transformation: roles at the right hand of leadership. Product collaborations considered with equal interest.
