    Your strategy isn’t the problem. Your execution is. Hi - its a a pleasure to meet you, my name is Jim Apodaca and I work with founders, operators, and enterprise leaders who know what they want—but struggle to get the entire organization rowing in the same direction. If you’re here, it’s likely because: ❌ You’ve rolled out OKRs, but they live in a slide deck—untouched by delivery ❌ Your teams are busy but not aligned—initiatives stall or miss the mark ❌ You’ve outgrown your current tools, systems, or leadership operating cadence ❌ You’re trying to scale—but the friction is starting to show If any of that sounds familiar—you’re not alone. Most teams don’t fail because of poor strategy. They fail because the handoff from vision to execution breaks down. 🚀 How I Help As an OKR coach, Agile strategist, and operations advisor, I help organizations operationalize agile frameworks into action. I embed strategic frameworks like OKRs and Scrum into the real workflows of real teams—so you can drive alignment, accelerate outcomes, and scale with confidence. Whether you're just getting started or need to reboot your approach, I’ll help you implement systems that support delivery, build internal ownership, and create a culture of focus and follow-through. 🎯 What You Can Expect • Clear, actionable OKRs that reflect both strategy and delivery • Agile practices tailored to your organization’s rhythm—not just textbook ceremonies • Leadership coaching to operationalize and embed sustainable change • Systems that reduce noise, increase clarity, and move the needle 👤 Who I Work With. • Founders and CEOs wearing too many hats • Leadership teams struggling with alignment and internal challenges • Product and engineering leaders who need a delivery engine or reset • Chiefs of Staff juggling competing priorities across the org • Organizations experiencing rapid scale 🔧 Specialties • OKR design, rollout, and leadership coaching • Scrum implementation and Agile delivery optimization • Strategic planning & portfolio alignment • Cross-functional initiative leadership • Change management for digital transformation • Team rituals & meeting cadence that drive progress • Organizational health & operating model maturity Tools: Jira, Monday, ClickUp, Notion, Miro, Asana, Salesforce, Smartsheet, Confluence, Trainual 📈 Proven Impact • OKR Rollout: OKR implementation for 120+ team members; within one quarter, 45% of team objectives were met, 30% of company objectives achieved • Agile Transformation: 65% lift in delivery, 35% reduction in tech debt, with improved backlog prioritization and cross-functional collaboration • ERP Transformation: PeopleSoft ERP implementation for a major hospital system—project was 9 months behind and over budget; team realignment led to on-time launch • PMO: Created a PMO Center of Excellence for a multi-business line org; achieved 65% increase in projects completed successfully and 48% reduction in scope creep • Directed a $7M fintech portfolio resulting in 128% YoY growth, 153% increase in subscription revenue, and 106% lift in marketplace revenue 🗣️ What Clients Say • "Jim did a fantastic job setting us up on the right path for Agile in the Company. We were lost without him. Jim listened, heard, and understood my team. He was patient with technical and non-technical people, he communicated effectively with Director and C-level positions, and walked through the rocky path of implementing Agile. I recommend Jim and would hire him anytime" • "A high growth COO, Executive and a Project Manager. Has experience in startups, grow-ups and enterprises. Highly talented, kind and a savvy problem-solver. Highly highly recommend as an operator and as a teammate. A+++" 💬 Let’s Talk If you’re tired of strategies that look good on paper but break down in execution—I offer a free 30-minute consultation to assess where you’re stuck and how to move forward. Let’s turn strategic intent into meaningful outcomes. Book a call and let’s get to work.

    Hi! I’m Melissa — founder of Honey House Consulting and a long-time team operations and workflow specialist. I help people work better together by bringing structure to the chaos, improving how work flows, and removing the little things that make big tasks harder than they need to be. I’ve spent 10+ years supporting teams and leaders through everything from strategy planning and team training to fixing day-to-day bottlenecks and communication breakdowns. I’m equally comfortable running workshops or rolling up my sleeves on behind-the-scenes systems. I’m new to Upwork and in the early stages of growing my own consulting business—but this work is far from new to me. I’m here to expand my network, learn from others, and bring real value to teams of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re untangling complexity, streamlining operations, or just need a fresh perspective to get moving again—I’m all in. My promise: I treat every project like it’s my own. I’m driven by helping others, and I take real pride in doing great work — not just getting things done, but making sure they’re done right.
