Operations & Program Manager
the work behind the work.
Operations and program management for complex, high-stakes work.
Let's connectabout
Most recently, I led program operations for Google's academic research partnerships—coordinating initiatives in AI/ML, climate science, and health that connected university researchers with Google's resources and expertise. I managed 2,000+ annual projects across 13 product areas, oversaw $2M+ in budget decisions, and maintained 98% stakeholder satisfaction.
Before Google, I built diagnostic frameworks at WHOOP that standardized operations for a 50-person team, reducing resolution time by 25%. I was promoted within 2 months and achieved the highest ticket closure rate on the hardware team.

case studies
vendor onboarding toolkit
New vendors sat idle for 30+ days with no clear direction. Full ramp-up to productivity took 3 months—wasting budget and frustrating everyone involved.
Mapped workflows, identified gaps, built a comprehensive toolkit with Day 1 action plans, 30-day milestones, templates, and a metrics dashboard to track time-to-productivity.
CRM migration to salesforce
2,000+ annual projects tracked across sprawling Google Sheets. Cmd+F was our search engine. Anyone could edit anything. No audit trail. Reporting took hours of manual aggregation.
Led end-to-end migration: stakeholder requirements, workflow mapping, data validation, role-based access controls, training, and adoption monitoring.
