Different fields, one instinct: find the friction, build the thing that helps. A few of the places I've put that to work.
Leading operations like a chief of staff — building spaces, launching ventures, redesigning systems, and serving as the connective tissue that helps talented people work better as a team.
Joined at the ground floor — two people, one conviction: patients should reach promising treatments without a pharma company in between. We built a full clinical research operation: facilities, staff, regulatory frameworks, a pilot study.
A face and voice of the company — podcasts, video, writing — while running the operations behind it: contracts, the website, finances, and a roles-to-tasks restructuring that put the right people in the right seats.
Instrumenting riders in a wind tunnel, testing membranes and yarns — and helping normalize neutral palettes and looser cuts for cyclists who wanted smiles, not grimaces.
From elite athletes chasing Olympic margins to pulmonary patients who just wanted to breathe without oxygen. The most portable thing I learned: success belongs to the person you're helping.
