    I’m Brandon — a HubSpot Partner, RevOps strategist, and systems architect with over 11 years of experience helping growth-stage companies untangle their backend, automate their front-end, and scale with clarity. I’ve led full-scale CRM implementations, multi-system integrations, and AI-enabled automations for companies ranging from scrappy startups to $20M+ service orgs. If you're stuck in manual chaos, spreadsheet spaghetti, or low adoption rates, I help turn your CRM into a true growth engine — not just another dashboard graveyard. Here’s what I actually do: 🔹 CRM Architecture & Optimization I build custom HubSpot setups (and rescue messy ones) — including data models, lifecycle mapping, lead scoring, and sales-marketing alignment. Whether it's new pipelines, AI follow-up, or better dashboards, your system will reflect how your business actually works. 🔹 Automation That Closes Gaps From lead capture to fulfillment, I implement AI-powered automations (email/SMS/sequencing) that save time and create better buyer experiences — not more clutter for your reps. We design workflows that work with your people, not against them. 🔹 RevOps That Drives Real Decisions I turn your CRM into a source of truth: cleaner reporting, better KPIs, and custom dashboards that show what’s moving the needle — not vanity metrics. 🔹 Fractional Support & Training I don’t ghost post-setup. I offer fractional sales ops, process design, and team training to ensure your systems stick and evolve. 📈 Tools I Use: HubSpot (Sales, Marketing, Service, Ops Hubs) Zapier, Make.com, n8n (custom automations) Kixie, Aircall, PandaDoc, ZoomInfo, Clay Slack, Asana, Airtable, Notion CPQ systems, billing integrations, and AI tools like ElevenLabs + OpenAI for voice automation 🧭 Co-Founder @ Prepare2Rise.ai We partner with growing B2B teams to build AI + RevOps systems that scale. PS: Are you leveraging HubSpot’s AI agents yet? The new sales, content, and service agents are changing the game — and we’re helping several clients integrate them right now.

    I’m an operations strategist who thrives on turning chaos into clarity. With a passion for streamlining processes, optimizing workflows, and building efficient systems, I help business owners take control of their operations so they can scale with confidence. Whether you're navigating rapid growth, struggling with inefficiencies, or need a structured approach to managing your business, I bring the strategy and execution to make it happen. With a background in operations, leadership, and process improvement, I’ve helped businesses across industries—including construction, manufacturing, and service-based trades—untangle inefficiencies and build sustainable, scalable systems. I believe success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter. My approach focuses on creating structured solutions that eliminate bottlenecks, improve productivity, and allow business owners to focus on what truly moves the needle. Over the years, I’ve worked with startups, small businesses, and large organizations. No matter the size or stage, my process remains the same: listen, analyze, strategize, and execute. I specialize in: ✅ Operations & Workflow Optimization – Streamlining processes to reduce inefficiencies and improve productivity. ✅ Business Systems & Automation – Implementing tools and workflows to make daily operations smoother. ✅ Lean Process Improvement (Green Belt Certified) – Applying data-driven strategies to cut waste and boost performance. ✅ Strategic Growth & Scaling – Helping businesses expand without operational headaches. I’m a firm believer in continuous improvement, both professionally and personally. Whether it’s learning new methodologies like Lean Six Sigma, mentoring business owners, or refining my own strategies, I’m always looking for ways to grow and help others do the same. When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me exploring creative projects, diving into a new book, or finding ways to bring more efficiency into everyday life (yes, I apply systems thinking to my personal life too!). If you’re looking for a strategic partner to help organize, optimize, and grow your business, let’s connect! 😊

    I love helping people and organizations succeed, and that starts by aligning teams around what matters most. I’m a firm believer that strategy isn’t just about goals on paper. It’s about creating shared clarity, aligning people to priorities, and ensuring teams have the insights they need to make quick decisions that drive results. My career in tech started 15 years ago as a Product Manager, struggling to launch new features in a waterfall world. Then I read Succeeding with Agile by Mike Cohn, and with a little mentoring, my perspective, and my company’s future, completely shifted. I became hooked on the power of Agile thinking and collaborative problem-solving. Years later, I knew I needed to work with Atlassian tools and a culture that values people and outcomes as much as I do. That’s why I’m here at Isos Technology, where I get to lead teams, help clients untangle complexity, and design strategies that unlock the full potential of people and platforms.
