With a PhD in Global Leadership, specializing in Organizational Management, and nearly a decade of hands-on experience—I have a proven track record of navigating complexity, driving change, and leading with purpose. I've built my career on continuous learning, growing through both setbacks and successes—and bring that same mindset to every client I work with today. I began my career as a small business owner, where I quickly mastered taking strategic risks, adapting to change, and building from the ground up. I later cofounded two startups, one of which continues to thrive after completing the FoundersBoost (F6S) Accelerator Program. These experiences shaped my resilience and resourcefulness, enabling me to turn vision into reality. From there, I stepped into leadership roles, leading teams of 5 to 25 as a Marketing Management Consultant and guiding nonprofits as an Executive Director and Board Member. Currently, I partner with leaders and organizations to build high-performing teams and cultivate cultures that drive success.

Quick context for anyone scrolling my work history: my early jobs on Upwork were small Excel tasks I took to learn the platform. My real work for the past 15+ years has been operations and project management — most recently as Owner of JBG Consulting (since 2017), and before that as an Assistant Vice President at Bank of America Merrill Lynch managing a team of 5, and as Digital Project Manager at Princeton Partners. The deeper work is what I'm here to do. I help small and mid-sized businesses run cleaner and faster with less owner time stuck in the weeds — through process improvement, Excel automation, client and vendor relationship management, and modern AI-assisted workflows. What I'm best at: • Process audits — mapping how work gets done today and where the friction lives • Project management — running an initiative end-to-end so you don't have to babysit it • Client & vendor relationship management — being the single point of contact who translates between parties, chases down answers, and keeps everything moving • Excel & Google Sheets — dashboards, models, reporting, anything spreadsheet-driven • AI-assisted workflows — using modern AI tools to remove manual, repetitive work • CRM & tool stack cleanup — optimizing the systems you already use How I work: tell me the outcome you need. I'll scope it, give you a fixed-price quote, and deliver. I'm a fit for clients who want to hand a responsibility off and get it back done — not micromanage hours. You're probably the right fit if: ✓ You have a recurring ops headache you keep meaning to fix ✓ You have multiple clients or vendors to juggle and need someone to quarterback those relationships — translating requests, chasing down answers, and keeping everyone aligned ✓ You want a CRM, spreadsheet, or reporting workflow cleaned up properly ✓ You need a steady project manager to keep something on the rails ✓ You'd rather buy an outcome than rent an hour Send me the problem and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to solve it.
