When organizations require an Operations Executive or Operational Chief of Staff to make leadership goals reality, advance mission and vision – I’m brought in. I’ve led operations within highly-regulated state government agencies, the DOD and US Army and union and non-union companies – and directed HR, Finance, Contract & Grant Management, Facilities, Fleet Management and IT functions.

The Results? Change adoption, successful negotiations and adherence to contract terms.☑My teams can do more with less thanks to technology put in place to support automation and process streamlining – leading to time saved and work expansion supported without increased headcount.𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲An adaptive leader and mentor by nature, I subscribe to the philosophy that:✓ Empowering employees to make decisions fosters a sense of ownership in the process, and cross-training ensures continuity of operations, diversifies skillsets and improves retention of quality employees. ✓ No department is an island. Internal and external relationship-building helps the organization and is key to long-term success. ✓ Having diverse voices at the table and welcoming differing views improves outcomes for all.✓ Because data drives decisions, I transform complex data into information that can be used to create performance measures, identify areas for improvement, risk and where policies/requirements are needed.
