Operations Manager

As Operations Manager of Venator Partners, I ensure that daily business operations are efficient and effective. I continuously improve the operational systems, business processes, and policies.

In partnership with the management team, I contribute to the development and implementation of strategies, information flow, and organizational planning. I apply at Venator Partners my considerable experience as Executive Assistant to the CEO at MetaWorks, Inc (now United BioSource Corporation), the Executive Assistant to the CEO at Affinnova, Executive Assistant and Office Manager at JAFCO America Ventures (now Globespan Capital) and In-house assistant to Julia Child (Julia Child’s Kitchen, Inc).

I also served on the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Wine and Food, Boston Chapter for 14 years, an organization founded by Julia Child.

I thrive at being the “behind the scenes person”. Everyone is very comfortable relying on me to enable the rest of the team to do their jobs seamlessly.

A lifelong Bostonian, I received a B.S. in Speech Communications from Emerson College and my M.Ed from Suffolk University. I love gardening, cooking and wine collecting with my husband as well as spoiling my four grandchildren.
