About
Operations leader with 14+ years of experience building and scaling nonprofits, startups, and mission-driven organizations across Africa, Europe, and the U.S. Proven track record of designing operational systems from the ground up, including financial, HR, compliance, and grant management frameworks, that drive efficiency, reduce overhead, and position organizations for sustainable growth.
Managed multi-million-dollar budgets and grant portfolios (up to $8.4M), led cross-functional teams across multiple time zones, and partnered closely with founders and executives to translate strategic vision into operational execution. Hands-on experience with startups and development contexts, from rural schools to continent-wide grantmaking, with a consistent focus on building scalable processes that serve both organizations and the communities they impact.
Known for bringing structure to ambiguity, turning startup-stage chaos into high-performing operations, and cultivating cultures where people do their best work. Whether mentoring 50+ startups, rolling out enterprise systems, or developing governance frameworks from scratch, the throughline is the same: building the operational backbone that lets mission-driven work actually happen.
