P&L Athlete — Commercial Operations Leader

The Opportunity

This candidate is a rare commercial-operations hybrid — an executive who has owned billion-dollar P&Ls, built and managed global cross-functional teams, and navigated complex regulated environments from chemicals to defense supply chains. Now DC-based, she brings an unusual combination of financial rigor, AI/data fluency, and operational execution to mid-market industrial companies that are scaling or transforming.

At a $55B chemical company, she outperformed EBITDA targets by more than $100M and grew sales 7% — more than twice the historical average — while keeping inventory constants flat. She built high-performance teams with a 100% promotion rate among direct reports.
