The operator behind the execution

I turn ambiguity into owned, visible, decision-ready work.

I help leadership turn priorities into owned work, visible risks, timely decisions, and completed outcomes—without creating unnecessary management overhead.

Turn strategy into action

Convert leadership priorities into clear plans, milestones, deadlines, and next actions.

Scaling Agency Operations

Repeating the operating pattern across two growing agencies.

Growth increases handoffs, account risk, reporting demands, and fulfillment complexity. My role was to build the structure that allowed client operations to scale without losing control.

Atria Media Group

~50 → 150+ accounts

Operating focus

Onboarding and information intake
Sales-to-fulfillment handoffs
PPC / SEO / content / billing coordination
Reporting and client communication cadence
Templates, documentation, and team enablement

Restoration Growth

<30 → 200+ accounts

Operating focus

Client-success structure and onboarding
Account visibility and optimization logs
Risk flags and escalation paths
Weekly “no surprises” communication cadence
Invoicing, collections, renewals, and reporting

~40% → <20% Client churn reduced below the company target at Restoration Growth

Repeated Pattern Build operational control before growth creates complexity
