My career has been built on one core ability: bringing order to complexity and alignment across silos.
I've scaled Hyperbiotics from a 4-person startup to $53M in revenue and a successful private equity acquisition, led global expansion at Dolby across 41 international locations, and driven employee engagement from 56% to 86% at Dexian through operational clarity and transparent communication. I've directed four major M&A integrations with 90% employee retention and established the playbooks that enabled consistent execution worldwide.
Across both global enterprises and scrappy startups, I became known as the integrator—the person who sees across silos, builds the infrastructure, and turns vision into execution. I built the systems, rhythms, and trust that kept leaders confident and teams thriving when the stakes were high and the pressure was on.
I've always loved working closely with founders and leadership teams in smaller, fast-scaling organizations—but in those environments, I kept seeing the same pattern:
From founders and executives: "I don't see everyone day to day." "I don't know what people are working on anymore." "Are we even on track?" "I'm afraid we're going to miss our goals."
And from their teams: "I don't know our priorities." "We change direction constantly, and I don't know why." "Leadership is invisible—I don't trust them."
The pattern was clear: leaders were stuck in the weeds when they needed to be leading strategy, teams were misaligned, and strategic goals were at risk. Growth was outpacing infrastructure, and execution was becoming harder than it needed to be.
These organizations didn't need more strategy. They needed operational infrastructure—the systems, rhythms, and clarity that turn vision into execution.
I examined what I had always built across every company I'd led and distilled it into a framework: the Three Pillars of Operational Excellence—Commitment, Communication, and Capability. These three pillars, built through a five-step process, create the operational clarity and alignment that enable teams to execute with confidence at scale.
I founded Meridian Operations to partner with mission-driven founders who are brilliant at vision and ready to build the operational infrastructure that matches their ambition. They don't need another strategic consultant—they need someone who can step in, build the infrastructure, and lead operations so they can focus externally on growth, investors, and strategy.
That's what I do.
I work embedded in your team as a fractional COO, building the Three Pillars—establishing systems, aligning teams, creating financial clarity, and anchoring sustainable operating rhythms. I work on your timeline until the infrastructure runs without me, then I step back and your company keeps executing.
For me, the real drive has always been creating clarity—giving leaders visibility into what's happening, giving teams cohesion and purpose, and giving everyone the confidence that goals will be achieved.
With the Three Pillars in place, leaders move from uncertainty to confidence—no longer stuck in the weeds, but equipped with clear insight into progress and the operational infrastructure to deliver on strategic goals.
Teams are no longer just going through the motions—they're committed to the vision, clear on priorities, and working in a rhythm that drives real results. Scattered effort and firefighting give way to clarity, alignment, and momentum.
And the real win? Strategic goals are met. Investors stay confident. The company scales without losing what made it great. And people are proud to deliver on the vision.
That's why I do this work.
