About
As the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Partner at DayCloud Studios, I lead with a passion for operational excellence and strategic growth. My journey from the courts of the WNBA and European professional basketball to the boardroom has equipped me with a unique perspective on teamwork, leadership, and resilience. At DayCloud, I focus on optimizing operations, fostering innovation, and driving business success through a customer-centric approach and a commitment to delivering top-tier products and services.
With a strong foundation in sales, marketing, and project management, I bring a blend of strategic vision and hands-on leadership to every aspect of our operations. My experience in high-stakes environments, both on the court and in the business world, has honed my ability to lead teams through challenges and deliver results. Whether it's managing resources, optimizing processes, or building strong stakeholder relationships, I am dedicated to positioning DayCloud Studios as a leader in the industry.
Beyond the office, I co-host two podcasts, leveraging my expertise to mentor and engage diverse audiences, amplifying positive community initiatives through the Champion This platform. My commitment to empowering voices and fostering a collaborative culture extends from my professional career into every aspect of my life.
