About Joefree

With over 15 years of experience leading strategy, analytics, and operations, I help fast-growing tech companies turn complex data into decisive, scalable action. Leveraging foundational training at McKinsey and hands-on leadership roles at Thumbtack and GetYourGuide, I excel at building robust, cross-functional systems that enable sustainable growth.

As a trusted partner to C-suite leaders, I bridge the gap between analysis and execution—bringing strategic clarity, operational rigor, and a get-things-done mentality.

What sets me apart:
  • Breadth across consulting, HR, product marketing, and operations.
  • Depth of leadership, with proven results guiding teams of 25+ and partnering with executives.
  • Passion for driving decisions through data and AI tools—combined with scale-up agility.

Types of projects I take on:

  • Strategy and operations consulting (including BizOps and People PMO)
  • Analytics and business intelligence for decision support
  • Transformational change, organizational design, and project management
  • People strategy, planning, and fractional Chief-of-Staff
