Executives, founders, board members, and B2B companies don't need more content. They need content that builds credibility, establishes authority, and creates opportunities for growth.
At Content Splash, we help leaders transform their expertise into compelling thought leadership that attracts clients, strengthens personal and corporate brands, and positions them as trusted voices in their industries. Whether you need LinkedIn ghostwriting, executive thought leadership, white papers, case studies, buyer's guides, or strategic B2B content, our team delivers insightful, authentic content designed to achieve measurable business results.
I'm the Business Manager for Content Splash and serve as your primary point of contact from discovery through delivery. I help define project scope, match you with the right senior writer, manage timelines, and ensure every deliverable meets our editorial standards before it reaches you.
Content Splash's thought leadership strategy is led by David Kochanek, a recognized executive branding and thought leadership strategist with more than 20 years of experience advising CEOs, founders, executives, and board members. Every engagement benefits from the strategic framework he has developed over two decades, combined with the expertise of our U.S.-based executive ghostwriters, editors, and content strategists to create content that builds credibility, trust, and influence.
Our team specializes in:
• LinkedIn ghostwriting for CEOs, founders, executives, and board members
• Executive thought leadership programs
• B2B blog articles and pillar content
• White papers and buyer's guides
• Case studies and customer success stories
• Landing pages and website copy
• Executive bios and company leadership profiles
• Sales enablement content and strategic messaging
Our approach is built around capturing your expertise, not replacing it.
Every engagement begins with understanding your experience, perspective, and goals through structured interviews, research, and existing materials. We combine those insights with AI-assisted workflows and the expertise of our experienced human strategists, writers, and editors to create content that reflects your authentic voice, not generic marketing copy.
Clients appreciate having a single point of contact throughout the engagement. I coordinate the project, communicate progress, answer questions, and make sure every milestone stays on track while our U.S.-based team focuses on creating exceptional work.
Whether you need a single strategic asset or an ongoing thought leadership program, our goal is simple: create content that earns trust, strengthens your reputation, and helps your business grow.
If you're looking for a long-term content partner rather than just another freelance writer, I'd love to learn more about your goals and discuss how Content Splash can help.

Hello, my name is Jill West and I help growing SaaS and tech companies scale by building the operational systems that make execution repeatable — work that's generated $1M+ in pipeline and $200K in closed revenue for clients, and kept Fortune 500 programs delivering on time. As a Fractional Strategic Operations Partner, I sit between leadership and execution to ensure the right work gets done, in the right order, by the right people.
My focus is program leadership and operational design, not task execution or board management. I build the structure that lets teams move faster with clarity.
What I specialize in:
- Leading complex, cross-functional programs across product, GTM, and operations
- Designing PMO, governance, and execution models that scale
- Establishing prioritization, planning, and execution cadences
- Acting as a strategic execution partner to founders and executives
- Removing delivery bottlenecks and decision friction
Clients bring me in when execution feels chaotic, leadership has become the bottleneck, priorities keep shifting, initiatives stall across teams, or growth is outpacing structure.
Typical engagement models: fixed-scope packages, fractional leadership (monthly), and short-term advisory engagements.
Industries: technology, SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare, and Professional Services.
If you need senior execution leadership without the full-time overhead, let's connect. I'd love to talk through the current state of your operations and where I can help.
