I help small business owners escape the chaos and scale smarter using AI, automation, and streamlined workflows that actually stick. → 12 years at Google building ops, tools, and programs used by millions → Built and streamlined my own small businesses from the ground up → Now I help other solopreneurs do the same—saving 10+ hours a week and unlocking 10x results with simple systems that run on autopilot Hi, I’m Jeremy 👋, former Google program manager, now full-time consultant for small business owners who are tired of running their operations with sticky notes, spreadsheets, and stress. If your business feels like it’s being held together with duct tape and to-do lists, I’ll help you fix the backend so it runs like a machine. I specialize in turning operational chaos into clean, automated workflows that free up your time and mental energy so you can grow without burning out. **Here’s how I help** 🔧 Streamline Workflows – Simplify clunky processes like client onboarding, lead tracking, and project delivery so nothing falls through the cracks. ⚙️ Implement Automations & AI – Set up smart no-code automations and AI tools that eliminate repetitive work, reduce human error, and save 10+ hours per week. 📊 Design Custom Systems – Build SOPs, dashboards, and lightweight CRMs tailored to your business (in tools like Notion, Airtable, Zapier, and Google Workspace). Whether you’re a coach, agency, or creative service provider, I’ll meet you where you are then build the systems that get you where you want to go. With deep tech experience and small-business scrappiness, I’ll help you stop babysitting your business and finally get your time back. ** The result? ** ✅ More time ✅ Fewer mistakes ✅ 10x capacity with the same team Let’s talk if you’re ready to use AI and automation to break out of the grind and finally build a business that works for you and runs without you.
