Operations Leader | Building, Scaling & Fixing Complex Field Operations
I help growing organizations build the systems, processes, and operating structure needed to execute consistently. I’ve spent 15+ years leading complex operations across healthcare, public health, EMS, and large-scale field programs, including building new programs, scaling teams, improving workflows, implementing technology, and managing multi-site operations. I work best on problems where strategy needs to become practical execution.

Projects

Built and Scaled a Mobile Healthcare Operation

Built the operating infrastructure for a mobile healthcare program from the ground up, scaling from 0 to 3 vehicles and 0 to 20 employees while monthly revenue grew from roughly $90K to $300K. Developed the staffing model, field workflows, equipment standards, operating processes, and management structure needed to support rapid growth.See More

Operationalized a High Volume Testing Platform

Worked with engineers and an external laboratory to translate a proprietary testing platform into real-world operations. Defined user workflows, roles and permissions, barcode and specimen matching, API data exchange, exception handling, failover processes, and edge-case testing. The platform was designed to support roughly 50,000 tests per day.See More
