Background

About Sula M.

I transform organizational chaos into strategic stability. With 15+ years of leadership experience across multiple industries, I specialize in building resilient systems that withstand crisis and drive operational excellence. What I Bring to the Table: Crisis Leadership: Established Anthropic's first Crisis, Safety & Resilience department from ground zero, creating comprehensive frameworks for business continuity and disaster recovery. Measurable Impact: At Cruise, reduced incident resolution time from 2+ weeks to under 40 minutes while managing a 24/7/365 global team. Cross-Industry Expertise: Unique perspective from working across tech giants (Anthropic, Cruise, Microsoft), healthcare, academia (Stanford), and elite military operations (UK Special Forces). Strategic Execution: Managed $500K+ budgets, 100+ person teams, and comprehensive risk mitigation programs for organizations supporting tens of thousands of people. Currently seeking: I'm exploring opportunities where I can leverage my experience in crisis management and operational excellence, whether continuing in tech or bringing my transferable skills to new industries. My background in building structure from ambiguity, making data-driven decisions, and leading cross-functional teams can provide immediate value to organizations navigating complex challenges. Ideal roles include Director/VP positions in Operations, Crisis Management, Business Continuity, Risk, or Strategic Leadership in companies seeking to strengthen their resilience and operational foundations. Open to connecting with leaders who value strategic thinking, measurable results, and building robust systems that enable organizations to thrive through uncertainty.
