Hi, I’m Mason.
I like making things work.
I’m a Chief of Staff, business operations leader, and startup founder. I help leaders look ahead, teams work well together, and new ideas take shape.

About me
Lead with empathy.
Keep moving forward.
I bring structure to complex work and help people find a way through it. As a Chief of Staff and operations leader, I keep the organization running well so my designated leader can stay focused on what’s ahead.
My approach starts with trust, honest conversations, and accountability. It’s shaped by kaizen: small, continuous improvements that add up over time, at work and at home.
More about meHow I got here.
I’ve founded and led a 10-person startup and managed operations through major change at Silicon Valley Bank and First Citizens. Today, I bring that experience to a hybrid Chief of Staff and operations leadership role while building new ventures.
