Principal @ Blue Owl Capital
About
Rear combination of both an analytical and creative mindset. I’m an operations and finance transformation leader with 15+ years of experience building scalable systems inside high-growth organizations. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered closely with executive leadership to design operational frameworks that enable organizations to scale — from improving financial reporting pipelines to implementing automation and enterprise systems. In my current role as Principal and Chief of Staff to the CFO at Blue Owl Capital, I lead cross-functional initiatives spanning finance, technology, and operations teams. My work focuses on identifying opportunities to streamline complex workflows, implement automation solutions, and build operating models that support growth. Increasingly, I’m interested in how AI and automation will fundamentally reshape operational workflows across organizations. I’m particularly excited about opportunities to help companies design operational systems that leverage AI to improve productivity, decision-making, and collaboration. My background combines: • Enterprise operations leadership • Process and systems design • Automation and workflow optimization • Financial and operational analytics • Cross-functional program management I’m especially interested in organizations building the future of intelligent systems and AI infrastructure.
