About

I didn’t come up through titles, I came up through execution.

Over the last decade, I’ve led and managed cross-functional teams across B2B and B2C environments, working directly with business owners and senior leaders to drive execution, accountability, and customer impact. I spent nearly 10 years at Microsoft, progressing from frontline roles into leadership, where I was responsible for teams, standards, and outcomes in high-pressure environments where execution mattered every day.

I later served as Director of Optimization at SiteTuners, leading optimization efforts across high-traffic websites and conversion programs focused on turning complexity into measurable business results.

Today, through MPL Biz Solutions, my team and I partner directly with business owners who’ve outgrown guesswork and need structure, prioritization, and execution that actually moves the business forward.

What to Focus on First When You Start a Business (So You Don’t Create Chaos Later)

Most business owners don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because they skipped the boring foundations and paid for it later with stress, confusion, and wasted money. Here’s what actually matters early if you want the business to grow without falling apart. 1. Clarify What You’re Actually Selling. If you can’t explain what you do in one sentence, your customers won’t understand it either. Get clear on: Who you help What problem do you solve How you get paid Everything else builds on...
