Fractional Chief of Staff | COO | CMO for Visionary Founders and Growth-Stage Leaders
Strategic Operator at the Intersection of Technology, Policy, Growth & Public Impact
I partner with founders and CEOs who are building ambitious organizations and want to scale with confidence. With 20+ years spanning telecommunications, emerging technology, and federal digital equity leadership, I bring strategic focus, operational discipline, and powerful executive storytelling to complex, high-stakes environments. I help leadership teams align vision with execution, strengthen market positioning, and build the internal infrastructure that turns bold ideas into durable impact.
I am a senior executive leader with more than two decades of experience driving growth, operational excellence, and public-private strategy across telecommunications, broadband infrastructure, startup technology, and federal digital equity initiatives.
My career spans Fortune 500 enterprises, emerging technology ventures, and federal leadership roles — including serving as a Federal Program Officer at the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA), where I lead complex, high-visibility digital equity initiatives across Washington State.
I specialize in helping mission-driven and growth-oriented organizations translate vision into execution.
What I Do
I partner with CEOs, founders, boards, and executive teams who need strategic horsepower without a full-time C-suite hire. In fractional Chief of Staff, COO, or CMO roles, I:
Align executive vision with operational execution
Build scalable infrastructure for growth
Lead cross-functional strategy and performance management
Translate complex policy, regulatory, and funding environments into actionable business strategy
Drive stakeholder engagement across government, tribal, corporate, and community ecosystems
Develop narrative positioning that attracts funding, partnerships, and market credibility
My Unique Value
Unlike traditional operators or marketers, I bring a rare hybrid profile:
Startup operator mindset with enterprise-level execution discipline
Revenue and market growth experience across telecom and technology sectors
Deep public policy fluency in broadband, infrastructure, and digital equity funding ecosystems
Executive communications and storytelling expertise that builds trust with legislators, regulators, investors, and communities
Proven ability to navigate complexity — from federal funding compliance to high-stakes stakeholder negotiations
I understand both the balance sheet and the legislative calendar.
Both the growth plan and the governance framework.
Both the internal culture and the external brand narrative.
Ideal Engagements
I am particularly well-suited for organizations that are:
Scaling rapidly and need executive alignment and operational clarity
Navigating federal, state, or infrastructure funding environments
Expanding into regulated or policy-influenced markets
Repositioning brand, strategy, or stakeholder relationships
Seeking a trusted strategic partner to the CEO
