Fractional COO · Business Designer and Manager | Fractional COO
I'm a hands-on fractional COO and mentor for startups who has applied my business design and management skills to help dozens of CEOs, especially in sports, fitness, health and wellness. I began my career as a tech lawyer in New York City and developed my general management skills in progressive roles, in business development, finance, sales, marketing and product. I helped build one high-impact start-up to nearly $100M in revenue and a second to exceed that benchmark.
