Executive Bio
I build operational frameworks, run them, and deliver results. I work through people, process, technology, and data, partnering with executives and boards to protect value and build operations that scale. The operating models, the KPI frameworks, the AI-enabled systems that turn ground-level intelligence into decisions. That is the work.
My background runs through litigation, compliance, and information governance, so I see risk before most people in the room do, and I build it out of the process before it becomes a liability. As a former ocean lifeguard on one of the busiest beaches in the world, I learned that a process has to hold at the most critical moment. I build mine the same way. As a recipient of the U.S. Congressional Award of Valor, I operate with a standard of execution under pressure that is not taught.
My career spans three environments inside one organization, from a top-10 national lender at $40 billion in peak volume through a $1.1 billion enterprise sale transition to a full operational rebuild for a different mission. When a federal judge ordered 10,000+ loan files reviewed in seven months against a two-year-plus projection, I diagnosed the bottlenecks, designed a new process, and directed the design and build of the system that did it. A team of six finished in under seven months.
