Currently, as the Senior Director of Business Operations & Chief of Staff to the CFO, Tyler is responsible for program and project management of strategic initiatives for the CFO, CEO, and Executive team – navigating the business with agility and guiding cross-functional global senior leaders from collaboration to execution.
