About

Operations executive with the technical depth to run AI in production.

Seventeen years scaling mission-driven organizations, including building a $10M revenue line at Noodle from concept to a distributed team of 100+ at a 41% net profit margin and 90% retention, and supporting 2U’s growth from 200 to 750+ employees across three continents. Hands-on with self-hosted LLM deployment, Linux infrastructure, and API-driven automation.

I build the systems that let organizations adopt AI without losing compliance, culture, or the people. My work spans operations, AI governance, and regulatory infrastructure across GDPR, HIPAA, FERPA, CCPA, and ADA Title II, with zero violations across federal audits. EMBA candidate at Quantic, chosen for its AI-era leadership curriculum.

Since 2025 I have run TMR System, my independent consulting practice, delivering AI-readiness, compliance, and market strategy work for growth-stage organizations, including regulatory mapping across French and U.S. accreditation frameworks for OpenClassrooms. I am seeking a full-time VP or Director role where I can apply these systems at scale inside one organization.
