Four bottlenecks.
Here’s what I took on.

Client identities withheld. My role, results, and limitations included.

01 / Industrial distribution

Seven workflows.
46–58 hours a week.

Before the owner added headcount, I took over the tasks manually, designed the automation roadmap, and coordinated implementation.

The decision that mattered

Automate the labor.
Keep the judgment.

Seven workflows now run with one or two manual touchpoints each.

Manual work fell to an estimated three to six hours a week—roughly a 90% reduction. The after-figure is unaudited.

Fintech

A hiring process founders could hand over.

I built and ran hiring and onboarding for a latino-serving fintech, supporting a team’s expansion from 12 to 43 people in 12 weeks.

Founders retained senior-offer decisions. The case study covers the handoff’s limits.

Media

Room to respond when news broke.

I rebuilt editorial review and team handoffs at a latino-serving newsroom. Its content buffer grew from hours to five days, creating room for breaking news.

The longer one-to-two-week target remained unmet.

Nonprofit media

Shared expectations for a growing program.

The platform shipped; adoption of the full quality standards remained unconfirmed.

Another room. The same attention to people.

The industry changes. I start with the people who know the work, learning what they need before deciding what to change.

Teaching fitness, including at SoulCycle and as a master trainer, is another place I’ve learned to read a room, adapt, and help people move together.
