Currently Director of Technical Operations at Undead Labs and founder of a technical consulting practice, she excels at aligning engineering strategy with business objectives to drive measurable results in fast-paced environments. Her background spans startup scale-ups to mature companies, including leading a 29-person engineering org that supported company growth from $5M to $33M in revenue and delivering major cost-reduction and product lifecycle wins.
