Senior Operator · Des Moines, Iowa

Twenty years as the operator inside
founder-led companies.
Now with AI built into the work.

Looking for a senior operating role — COO, VP of Operations, or the equivalent. Iowa-based, remote-capable.

What I bring

Operations at scale Led the full executive layer — teams, promo calendars, vendor networks, financial reporting. Not advisory. That's been the job.

AI fluency in production Built and run AI systems inside a live seven-figure business. All of them live, operated by non-technical team members.

Marketing depth Ran marketing and operations together for my entire career — not as separate functions. Attribution, campaigns, vendor management.

One thread through all of it Across a franchise, an agency, and three companies: keep revenue moving and reduce the operational weight on the founder.

Selected results

Grew campaign output from one launch a month to nearly two — while cutting team size from seven full-time and three vendors to four full-time and one vendor. The copy and social functions that were going to outside teams moved in-house through AI systems I built.
Eight years as a LearningRx franchise operator in Des Moines: two locations, $800K-plus annual revenue at peak, top-ranked franchise nationally multiple years. Sold in 2013.
