Max Niu

I’m a Program & Project Manager with 15+ years of experience navigating ambiguity, unblocking execution, and driving scalable solutions across creative agencies, consumer hardware/eCommerce, and ad tech/business operations. My strength lies in bridging the gap between disciplines—whether that’s account and creative, marketing and engineering, product and platform, or business and operations.

From multi-channel marketing campaigns to product launches, process optimizations, and tooling enhancements, I’ve helped cross-functional teams align, streamline workflows, and execute with clarity. At Meta, I built and led a lean project management function that improved review efficiency by 65%, accelerated refund case resolution by 60%, and drove compliance task completion to 91%.

I’m known for:
✅ Turning complexity into clarity—building frameworks, processes, and playbooks that drive execution without excess overhead.
✅ Aligning cross-functional teams—facilitating productive discussions between creative, technical, and operational stakeholders to keep projects moving forward.
✅ Solving operational bottlenecks—whether it’s a broken workflow, inefficient review system, or lack of accountability metrics, I identify gaps and implement sustainable improvements.
✅ Balancing structure with flexibility—adapting Agile and Waterfall methodologies to fit business needs rather than forcing rigid frameworks.

I’m currently exploring Senior Program/Project Management, Operations, and Chief of Staff roles where I can leverage my expertise in process improvement, strategic planning, and cross-functional leadership.

Off the clock?
I coach busy professionals on sustainable fitness & body recomposition (losing ~10 lbs in 12 weeks without sacrificing their lifestyle). Also into electronic music, travel, and men’s fashion—roughly in that order.
