Operations and e-commerce
leadership; Amazon & Apple.

I'm an operations and e-commerce leader with a decade of experience across Amazon and Apple. I've led new product launches that move the needle for businesses and have a ton of marketing dollars and customer eyes on them from the start. Some of my personal favorites were launching new artist albums at Amazon Music, building out the first-ever Apple Watch Ultra strategy at Apple, and leading iPhone's launch in Latin America. I'm adept at building strategies that work backwards from leadership goals, with an emphasis on delighting customers, and I own the cross-functional execution to make it happen. Anyone can go online and read about the products and programs I've launched; but what can't be read is the strategy and lessons learned behind each one. I usually am the one writing and presenting these; and each post ops raises the bar for the next launch.

Senior leaders tell me my strengths are presenting to senior leaders, connecting the dots and downstream impacts to the business and cross-functional teams, and mantaining a high bar for operational excellence. Peers tell me my strengths are thinking through creative solutions when something breaks (it always does), and ensuring everyone "knows the plan" and their role in it. I pride myself on being someone people can rely on; trusted in critical business moments.

WHAT I DO

What I do.

I'm best when there's no playbook (I get bored).

I move numbers in e-commerce

I've grown P&Ls, launched categories, scaled DTC and B2B; I can root cause why a number isn't moving and deliver both short and long-term results to achieve business goals.

I take the friction out of operations

I know supply chain, logistics, speed-to-market; I know why something is slower than it should be and can usually come up with a creative solution to speed it up. My approach almost always involves mapping the current process, understanding dependencies, and then challenging the "it's just how we've always done it" mentality.

I've done all four jobs

Most people can read the data (analyst/finance), or build the tool (developer), or work with the customer (sales), or design the brand (marketing/ad); I've done all four. It lets me connect the dots between concepts and move exceptionally fast. It also makes me the owner; when something breaks, I own the post ops. When something goes right, I double down on what's working.

TRACK RECORD

A decade of moving things.

$40M+ cost savings
1000s of brands + SKUs launched
Contract, pricing + terms negotiations
$xx launched
NDA — can't share
AMAZON / COLD CHAIN

$40M+ in cost savings

From initiatives like building out a cold ship supply chain to move meltable products (chocolate, gummy vitamins) through the summer at Amazon.

AMAZON / SELECTION

Thousands of brands and SKUs launched

Opened Amazon's business in Australia and supported PPE sourcing for hospitals and government agencies during the COVID response.

AMAZON + APPLE / COMMERCIAL

Contract, pricing, and terms negotiations

Driving revenue and profitability goals; with brands launching on Amazon, Apple wholesale partners, and more recently for external businesses tapping into Amazon's supply chain via Amazon Supply Chain Services.

PRODUCT + TECH

Tooling, reporting, and roadmap ownership

Worked with product and tech teams to build tooling that improved LATAM operations compliance at Apple, developed reporting and analytics for brands at Amazon, and owned the initial B2B pricing technical roadmap.

Launches I've led.

A few of the launches I've led or had a hand in leading; some take an army, all take cross-functional teammates at the end of the day.

HOW I WORK

I build, not just analyze.

this is the fun part ↓

The fastest way to understand a problem is to build the thing.

One of my favorite ways to work is to prototype, test fast, and then implement something that scales once I've figured out what works. I'm in the tools daily: testing, prototyping, shipping. I'm best when the stakes are real and nobody has written the playbook yet.

SKILL · IN PRACTICE

AI prompt engineering & workflow design

Prompts, chains, and systems; not one-offs. I build repeatable AI workflows that run without hand-holding: structured outputs, multi-step logic, automated handoffs. The goal is always the same: remove myself from the loop as fast as possible.

SKILL · IN PRACTICE

AI-assisted prototyping & product testing

Idea to working prototype in hours, not weeks. I use AI to compress the build-test-learn cycle; spinning up real things fast enough to test with actual users before anyone's written a spec. No playbook required.

ship it, then figure out what's wrong →
SKILL · IN PRACTICE

Social media strategy & creation

Strategy, hooks, carousels, captions; I write, design, and ship the post. Built end to end in Adobe Suite, Canva, and Later Analytics; Midjourney joining the stack soon.

always testing; the algorithm is a moving target →
