Secret Ops

By: Ariana Cofone
  • Summary

  • Every episode of Secret Ops goes behind the scenes with industry experts in operations to learn why and how they do what they do. From data science to people ops, revenue ops, and much more— we unveil the world of business operations, one layer at a time. Secret Ops is hosted by Ariana Cofone, an operations nerd with 10+ years of experience. Throughout her time in the field, including roles as a Chief Operating Officer, VP of Operations, and Creative Technologist, she observed that people knew they needed operations, but didn’t know what it was. The Secret Ops podcast is her way of bridging that gap and showing all of the work that operators do behind the scenes to make businesses thrive.
