Business Ops / Partnerships / Experiential Design .. oh my

Real quick, 

• My background spans Executive Leadership, Sales Ops, Client Management, Supply Chain + Last Mile Logistics, Vendor Coordination, as well as unprompted show tunes. 

 

As Head of Business Operations + Partnerships at And That's Showbiz,

• Produced multi‑venue experiential campaigns for Broadway shows The Great Gatsby & Maybe Happy Ending owning union coordination, budget tracking, and sponsorship pipeline.
• Created content approval automations to align editorial calendars, event timelines, and partner deliverables across teams.

 

As Executive Director at Blender Workspace & Events,

• Managed 15k sqft venue in Midtown Manhattan, producing 300+ mid to large scale events/meetings per year. 
• Led hybrid teams in Social Media Marketing, Event Production, Community Management, and Facility Ops.
• Implemented sales ops automations to boost Lead Conversions, reduce Client Response Time,  and drive Hyper-Local Partnerships. 

During the global shutdown, 

• Pivoted my obsession with customer experience into crafting virtual support platforms for Telehealth companies such as Peak, Hone Health, and Capsule. 
• Mastered the intricacies of pharmacy operations within the span of 3 weeks. (Woof!)
• Identified customer solutions for fast-changing regulation requirements.

Before the global shutdown, 

• Immersed in the world of Manhattan Commercial Real-estate. 
• Collaborated with daringly innovative companies like KSpace, WeWork, and Spacious. 
• Focused on Channel Partnerships, Site Management, and Russian Kick Dancing with Adam Neumann. 

Earlier on, when I was at an age where it was still cute to couch surf, 

• My passion for the arts took center stage. 
• Directed multi-media adaptations of classic plays.
• Performed in musical re-tellings of 90’s action movies, 
• Nailed impersonations of Tom Cruise and Jeff Goldblum. 
• Became the youngest person to ever grace a Broadway stage as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof 🤷🏻‍♂️🎻.  

Beyond my professional life, I enjoy:

• Calling old friends out of the blue for no particular reason. 
• Training my toddler to spin a basketball and squeezing his cheeks as long as he'll allow me. 
• Practicing foot acupressure for my wife's benefit.

Well look at you, you read the whole thing.
