About

I'm fascinated by how people and systems work together.

Sometimes that means redesigning customer support. Sometimes it means coaching youth soccer. Sometimes it means becoming a better father. I'm trying to get a little better at all three.

The short version

I'm a Senior Manager, CX Vendor Success at Pandora, where I lead customer experience vendor operations across North America and Brazil. Most of my work lives in the messy middle between strategy and execution: vendor models, technology, capacity, and the day-to-day decisions that determine whether a customer experience actually works.

Before Pandora, I worked across customer experience and product operations at Rent the Runway and Instacart. I studied Economics at Emory. Across each stop, I've gravitated toward the same kind of problem: something is working, technically, but it could work a lot better. Usually the hard part is that nobody quite owns fixing the seams.
