Implementation Manager, IT at Rippling | Project Management | Ex-Founder

About

Over the past 5 years, I’ve gone from founding and scaling a startup to $500K+ in revenue, to designing identity architectures for government and financial institutions, to now managing ~10% of Rippling’s global IT book of business. I work at the intersection of identity, security, and systems building infrastructure that scales, hold the pressure, and actually gets used. My work has involved securing access across critical environments, leading enterprise IAM & MDM deployments, and driving audit-ready implementations aligned with global compliance standards. I think from first principles, take ownership in high-stakes environments, and operate with calm in rooms where decisions matter. I’m known for bringing clarity to ambiguity, connecting systems, processes, and people into something that works. I’m driven by complex problems. As Sherlock Holmes puts it: “My mind rebels at stagnation… give me the most intricate analysis, and I am in my proper atmosphere.” Long term, I see myself building again or leading at scale, where the goal isn’t just to operate within systems, but to redefine them.
