For more than two decades, I’ve helped companies turn momentum into maturity — building the systems, people, and rhythm that make growth sustainable. I’ve led teams through scale, transformation, and change, always focused on creating companies that run well and cultures that last.

SUPES Academy
PRESIDENT · CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER · OWNER
I acquired intellectual property to create SUPES Academy as a way to address a major gap in professional development for K–12 leaders — few superintendents or school executives had access to structured leadership training.
Under my leadership, the organization expanded from training a few dozen educators annually to thousands nationwide, developing programs that supported superintendents, cabinet members, and principals in building stronger, more aligned leadership teams.
We established partnerships with Apple, NBC, and major school systems to deliver customized leadership academies and districtwide development programs.

After seven years of sustained growth and national impact, we positioned the company for a successful acquisition by a respected partner in the field.

Princeton Review
ASSISTANT VP + EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I joined The Princeton Review after leading a successful engagement that revitalized one of its federally funded tutoring programs for low-income students. Starting with a small, underperforming initiative in Chicago, I conducted a 90-day strategic audit across 300+ schools and implemented a new operating model that dramatically improved delivery, quality, and accountability. Within months, the program grew from under 100 participants to more than 8,000 — becoming one of the company’s most successful community programs and representing over 10% of total company revenue.
Following that success, I was promoted to lead Customer Experience and Support for all regional offices nationwide. I centralized operations across 50+ locations, consolidating fragmented call centers and standardizing customer communications, service protocols, and training. These efforts cut operational costs by 20% while doubling revenue through improved retention and cross-selling efficiency.
In this role, I also launched one of The Princeton Review’s first online sales and chat support platforms, introducing digital service channels that became the foundation for the company’s modern customer experience infrastructure.
