Spyglass Ops
Imagine being at the helm of a ship charting new territories.

Then, there were the strategy sessions, akin to gathering with seasoned generals plotting our next big move. My role on the leadership team wasn’t just about participation; it was about driving change, steering our marketing and sales efforts towards uncharted success.
The creation of a matchmaking/recruiting product? Think of it as crafting a bridge, connecting the right people in a harmonious dance of opportunity and talent.

It was more than a workshop; it was a journey into the soul of our company, aligning our compass to the true north of our collective aspirations.
Advising at an executive level was the final piece of my journey with Jhana Li and Spyglass Ops. Here, I wasn’t just an advisor; I was a mentor, a guide, leading through turbulent waters with a steady hand and a clear vision.
This chapter of his career was more than a list of responsibilities. It was a saga of growth, leadership, and transformation, both for himself and for the team that I had the honor to lead and grow with.
