I’ve taken on roles that pushed me to expand my business acumen, develop scalable solutions, and work across functions to drive outcomes in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.   That growth was made possible by leaders and mentors such as Phil Burroughs and Kevin Boyce, who didn’t just support me—they challenged me. I’ve leaned into that challenge, working hard to navigate ambiguity, bring structure to complexity, and focus on what matters most. How I work—through curiosity, clarity, ruthless prioritization, and a commitment to execution—has shaped my path here.   I’m excited to share that I’ve stepped into the role of Chief of Staff. In this role, I’ll partner closely with our executive team to align priorities, drive clarity around strategic initiatives, and help ensure the organization is operating effectively and focused on the right work.   𝐎𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 → ⚙️ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤: 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡, 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 My time at Advantive has accelerated my growth in every way.
