Olympic Gold Medalist turned business strategist, I bring over 15 years of expertise in operations, strategic planning, and leadership across health, wellness, and sports ventures. My journey from the Olympic podium to the boardroom has been driven by a passion for excellence, team success, and the pursuit of impactful, data-driven growth.After a decade of leadership in sports management and health-focused organizations, I’ve developed a proven track record in building high-performance teams, managing complex budgets, and driving operational excellence. At The Lovett School, I took on the Athletic Director role to give back to my community and foster youth development through sports. There, I led a $2M budget, engaged over 180 coaches, and developed systems that enhanced program quality and stakeholder engagement—a role that highlighted my commitment to inspiring wellness and positive change.In prior roles as CFO/COO of The D10 and Director of Business Development for Doyle Management, I spearheaded operational and financial initiatives that optimized resources, cut costs, and grew revenue. My experience spans establishing scalable systems in resource-constrained environments, securing high-value sponsorships, and driving growth through innovative business models. Alongside this, I’ve led large-scale events, built national sports tours, and developed strategic partnerships to amplify brand visibility and engagement.Now, I’m eager to bring my skills in strategic planning, operational management, and team leadership back to a business-focused role in health, fitness, or sports. I’m looking for an organization where I can lead initiatives, optimize performance, and contribute to long-term success in a field that aligns with my passion for wellness and athletic excellence.Key Skills: Strategic Planning, Operational Management, Financial Acumen, Team Leadership, Stakeholder Engagement, Data-Driven Decision Making, Sports Marketing, Performance Management, Sponsorship Development, Crisis Management, Business Development, Project Management, Growth Strategy
