My journey
I've spent my career translating strategic vision into operational reality. Starting with physician practice operations, I learned that healthcare delivery lives or dies on the systems you build. That foundation took me through a decade at Genentech in non-clinical development, then eight years at Amgen in program management and strategic partnership to Clinical Development leadership. Most recently, as Chief of Staff to CMO-level executives at Prothena and Bolt Biotherapeutics, I designed the operational infrastructure that reclaimed ~30% of leadership's time—freeing them to focus on strategic decisions instead of firefighting.
My science background lets me engage in scientific discussions while building the governance frameworks and cross-functional infrastructure that turn clinical complexity into reliable execution.
Since founding The RightHand Strategy in August 2025, I've been consulting with various industries while actively seeking a full-time Executive Chief of Staff or Strategic Operations leadership role.
If you're scaling and operational bottlenecks are the constraint, let's talk.
My unique approach: expertise that transforms
I bring enterprise-level operational rigor to organizations navigating growth-phase complexity.
Most consultants fall into one of two camps: strategic thinkers who can't execute in the weeds, or operators who lack the domain credibility to engage with technical leadership. I do both.
My deep domain expertise means I can sit in high-stakes technical discussions—understanding the nuances, constraints, and trade-offs that matter to your leadership team—then translate that complexity into governance frameworks that drive decisions and action. This dual fluency is rare. It's why technical leaders trust me to own the operational complexity they don't have bandwidth for.
I don't just advise. I embed, execute, and deliver systems that scale without breaking what's working.
Partnership
I work best with leaders who are ready to be honest about operational gaps, committed to execution, and value direct conversation over comfort. If you're building systems for long-term compounding benefits and want a partner who will tell you what you need to hear (not what you want to hear), we're probably a fit.
Your wins are the goal: reclaimed time, faster decisions, advancing programs, and teams that can actually execute.
