Project Management, Event Leadership, Operational Efficiency

Senior operations and project management professional with 10+ years of progressive experience. I specialize in turning big-picture strategy into structured, executable plans — ensuring projects move forward efficiently, on time, and on budget. I'm skilled at building consensus and eliminating bottlenecks. My background includes planning and executing complex in-person and virtual events (from executive roundtables to complex conferences and galas), building operational systems, managing cross-functional teams, and overseeing budgets and vendor relationships. I’m comfortable stepping into fast-moving environments, bringing clarity to ambiguity, and creating processes that scale. Core strengths: • End-to-end project management • Complex event planning (virtual & in-person) • Operations & workflow optimization • Budget management & financial oversight • Vendor negotiation & stakeholder coordination • Systems implementation & process improvement I bring a calm, structured approach to fast-paced environments and thrive on delivering seamless execution behind the scenes.
