As Chief of Staff to the CEO of Archetype Themes and Pixel Union, I work across strategy, operations, organizational planning, cross-functional execution, and special initiatives.
I helped lead the integration of the two businesses by building, facilitating, and communicating the merger plan across 7 teams and more than 30 employees. This included supporting the product team as operations shifted from 6 products sold through one channel to 16 products sold across multiple channels.
I also worked with technical teams to define the delivery model for a new multi-brand product bundle, coordinating the packaging of distinct product offerings across 11 brands and mapping how each component would be delivered through the right systems and workflows.
To improve visibility and execution at Archetype Themes, I formalized company-wide operating rhythms, shifting sporadic product release schedules to a structured 8-week cycle with weekly rituals, regular check-ins, team updates, and project boards. This helped reduce turnaround time for product improvement releases by 88%.
The result was stronger alignment, clearer ownership, and more reliable execution across a more complex multi-brand business.
