Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in.
You might know exactly what you want, or you might have a general sense of unease. Many business owners know there are things that can be done better, but they aren't sure where to start and don't have the time to figure it out.
I've spent years honing a carefully curated (but extensive) list of skills by working with small business teams and as a freelancer. These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments. I've had my hands in dozens of different projects and this has allowed me to analyze businesses and develop custom solutions.
I've also worked really hard to become acclimated to as much technology as possible. I'm certified in Asana, Notion, Make.com, Quickbooks, Trainual and Gorgias. I'm expert-level in Clickup, Trello, Monday, Processstreet, Jira, Confluence, Hubspot, Hubstaff, Harvest, Front, and many more.
Some of my specialty areas include:
- Day to day direct executive support, project management or operations management
- Acting as team communication leader and project manager ensuring efficient information sharing
- Process development
- Analyzing, streamlining and automating workflows
- Tool recommendations, data migration, set up and training
- Financials (Quickbooks, data transfers, budgets, action plans) I am a certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor! I am certified to help you optimize your usage of Quickbooks.
- I specialize in choosing, setting up and executing project management software. I am well versed in all major options. I am also an Asana Together Certified Pro and Notion Certified.
- Developing, launching and leading initiatives regarding efficiency, organization, team building, marketing, hiring, and more.
- Resource management including HR, payroll and employee engagement
- Long term goal planning, and breaking down those goals into achievable projects with specific steps and due dates
- Putting out fires, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping things from falling through the cracks

Why do I do this? Because I like to help people. When I propose on a job, I may adjust my posted rate to the commitment and effort the job appears to need. If my posted rate seems out of your reach, it's always worth a quick chat. I'm more interested in the experience of working with new organizations and people than wringing every nickel out of my clients. Conversely, complex projects may warrant a more significant client investment.

Technology problems are rarely just technology problems.
After 15+ years leading enterprise transformation initiatives, I've learned that struggling projects usually stem from misaligned stakeholders, unclear requirements, technical debt, or broken processes—not simply missed deadlines.
I help organizations untangle those problems by combining executive-level strategy with hands-on program leadership, bringing structure to complex initiatives and helping teams move forward with confidence.
Throughout my career I've been brought into organizations during periods of significant change—from replacing unsupported enterprise systems serving 15,000 users, to leading 5,000-person telephony migrations, creating PMOs from scratch, modernizing business processes, and aligning enterprise technology with long-term business strategy.
