About

I help leadership teams cut through ambiguity and move from "we should probably do something about this" to a clear plan with numbers behind it. That's been the thread across 9 years in management consulting and corporate strategy- whether I was at BCG building GTM Strategy & financial models for capital allocation decisions, or at MetLife right now leading enterprise AI and Data strategy and transformation programs across US & EMEA. My work sits at the intersection of corporate strategy, go-to-market operations, and business transformation. I've led cross-functional programs end-to-end: scoping the problem, building the business case, Scoping new Growth markets, designing the target operating model, getting buy-in from executive stakeholders, and driving execution until the P&L actually moves. Some of what that's looked like: - Led a multi-million dollar global reinsurance transformation across three regions — redesigned the operating model and technology platform in partnership with senior finance leadership - $100M growth opportunity identified for a fintech client — built the full feasibility and expansion playbook from market sizing through execution - Drove enterprise CLM strategy across multiple business units, consolidating vendor platforms and building the business case that moved the program from evaluation to execution
