Where people, process, innovation, and execution collide.
I help leaders and organizations turn ideas and opportunities into action, results, and sustainable growth.
Operator, coach, and AI adoption guide
Today, as Founder of EKO Growth Partners, I work with business owners, leaders, and teams as a fractional COO and Integrator, leadership coach, and AI adoption trainer and facilitator.
EKO Growth Partners is founder-led and collaborates with a trusted network of experienced coaches, operators, and AI adoption professionals—bringing in additional expertise when it fits each client’s needs.
A significant part of my work is partnering with visionary small-business founders. As businesses grow, founders often find themselves spending more time managing operations and less time doing what created their success in the first place. I step in as the Integrator — translating vision into execution, improving processes, creating accountability, and helping lead the day-to-day so founders can focus more on growth, innovation, relationships, and the future.
My roots are in small business, where early in my career I worked alongside entrepreneurs and learned firsthand how growing companies operate and adapt. I carried that perspective into 17 years at DIRECTV and AT&T, leading growth, product, operations, teams, and P&Ls. That experience taught me powerful lessons about strategy, leadership, execution, and profitability — and equally important lessons about what not to do.
How I help
Fractional COO & Integrator Leadership
Operations, execution, accountability, and profitable growth.
Leadership Coaching
Helping owners and leaders strengthen their effectiveness and turn goals into action.
AI Adoption & Training
Building the skills, confidence, and workflows to put AI to work in practical, human-led ways.
Growth & Transformation
Strategy, sales, process improvement, organizational structure, innovation, and execution.
Human-led AI
As a certified Adaptig trainer, I help teams move beyond AI curiosity and experimentation to confidently integrate AI into everyday work. My approach is human-led: technology creates the most value when it amplifies people's judgment, creativity, experience, and ability to solve problems.
SPARK and SHIFT are Adaptig programs I deliver as a certified trainer. EKO adds its own implementation and operating support around the learning, so new capability lands inside real workflows instead of stopping at the end of a workshop.
Operating philosophy
Just enough process to establish priorities, clarify roles, simplify execution, create accountability, and measure performance — without unnecessary bureaucracy.
How EKO engages
EKO is a boutique practice, working with a small number of founders at a time. Every current and future Integrator engagement includes a meaningful performance-based compensation component, with the measures, baselines, payout mechanics, timing, and safeguards defined for that specific business. The point is shared exposure to whether the work moves the needle — not a promise of any particular outcome.
My goal across all of it is simple: help good businesses and talented people perform at their best — while staying nimble enough to keep evolving.
