Driving growth & elevating experiences in wellness, hospitality, & multi-unit brands.

With over two decades steering transformation in the wellness and hospitality sectors, my journey has been about merging data-driven insights with human-centric leadership to uplift brand performance and customer satisfaction. I have built and led teams from a single location startup to 1,500+ units, helping drive growth from concept stage to over $1B in revenue. As COO of Orangetheory, I spearhead initiatives enhancing retention, profitability, and franchise cohesion. My track record spans boosting operations, innovating in marketing, and refining customer journeys at leading companies like Youfit and Planet Fitness. I excel in dynamic, purposeful settings, striving to better how communities live, move, and connect.
