Strategy & Operations Leader → Human Data Programs at Frontier AI Labs
Versatile strategy and operations leader with a track record of end-to-end ownership across two international founding teams, scaling from zero to ~A$50M in annual GBV. Currently optimising Turo's $2Bn GMV P&L from San Francisco HQ, bringing together a background with P&L ownership, people leadership (teams of ~12), and hands-on SQL and AI workflow development. Targeting human data program manager roles at frontier AI labs, where my experience building operations from scratch, managing cross-functional programs, and working at the intersection of data quality and product outcomes translates directly to the annotation, RLHF, and scalable oversight challenges shaping the next generation of AI.
