She signed three new clients that quarter, her best in four years. This is the work. It's not just strategy. It's the whole person. All sessions are private, 1:1, and conducted virtually via Zoom.

Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.

I am a business advisor, consultant and coach that is focused on helping startups and small businesses achieve their best. After growing up in small, family-owned businesses and spending much of my career leading small companies, I now help business owners and key leaders meet the important challenges and opportunities they face every day. Additionally, I do pro bono business mentoring with SCORE, the national program through the SBA and have helped dozens of business entrepreneurs get started and stay on the right path. Some of my areas of expertise: • Financial Management Tools • Operations Optimization & Cost Reviews • Written Policy & Procedure Development • Strategic Plans & Advising • Employee Hiring & Retention Procedures • Business Mentoring • Market Research • Leadership Coaching Let's setup a call to discuss your business journey and future goals.

I help organizations improve operations, strengthen leadership, and build systems that support sustainable growth. My experience spans engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and business operations with Raytheon, Honeywell, and Texas Instruments, along with more than 100 consulting engagements that have produced over $30 million in measurable operational and financial improvements. I work with business owners and leadership teams who are experiencing challenges such as: • Growth that feels harder than it should • Leaders carrying too much of the day-to-day decision making • Teams that are working hard but not consistently aligned • Processes that no longer scale with the business • Limited operational visibility or meaningful performance metrics • Managers who need stronger leadership and accountability skills My role is to identify what's getting in the way, simplify the operation, and help leadership teams build practical systems that continue working long after the engagement ends. Areas of Focus • Fractional COO & Operations Leadership • Strategic Planning & Business Execution • Leadership Coaching & Management Development • Process Improvement & SOP Development • KPI & Performance Dashboard Design • Growth Marketing and Proposal Development • Scaling Every engagement begins with understanding the business first—not selling a predetermined solution. Together we identify opportunities, prioritize improvements, and create a practical roadmap that fits your organization. If you're leading an organization that's growing, changing, or facing operational challenges, I'd be happy to connect. Feel free to send me a message—I'm always glad to exchange ideas, offer perspective, or discuss whether I might be able to help.
