I design and implement business strategies, plans and procedures for The Green Room. I’ve worked on setting up offensive and defensive financial goals that are linked to internal KPIs. I invest a significant amount of my time developing culture and company feel. I also focus heavily on strategy, analysis and developing external metrics and customer service opportunities. I handle all fundraising, cash management, contract negotiation, investments, acquisitions and capital investment planning.

As Senior Operations and Engineering Manager, my role was to oversee the entire warehouse and analyze old processes and implement new business processes. I created many standardized tools and forms to be used by all employees as well as automated logs to maximize efficiency and information retention. After standardizing all process from the warehouse to the office, I implemented a business intelligence program. I created KPIs, benchmarks and standardized metrics as well as developed a forecasting system for inbound volumes. All of these metrics and reports were then automated through programming. I then started creating a new company culture revolving around teamwork, belonging and recognition for good work. This dynamically changed the buy-in to our company and affected the overall job satisfaction dropping attrition of 1-2 people a month to almost no attrition.
