01 — Introduction

Editorial ops leader with 10+ years experience in iGaming and digital publishing. I build and scale content teams, tighten workflows, and keep quality high when output ramps up. I grew a team from 4 to 27 and scaled production 300%, while cutting turnaround by 5 days with clearer QA and feedback loops. Comfortable owning the full content lifecycle: hiring, training, production planning, and quality assurance across affiliate, editorial, and publishing.
