Operational clarity for companies that are scaling faster than their systems.
Providing support for founders and executive teams navigating growth, transition, and complexity.
Problems I Solve
Growth is supposed to feel exciting. Instead, it often feels noisy. Teams move quickly but not always in the same direction. Decisions bottleneck at the top. Priorities shift faster than execution can keep up. Leadership spends more time resolving friction than setting direction.
​
These aren’t people problems. They’re systems problems.
I work with organizations at the moment when talent, ambition, and opportunity outpace the operating model designed to support them.
What I Do
I partner with founders and executive teams to bring structure, rhythm, and clarity to execution. That includes designing operating models that scale, clarifying decision rights, aligning teams around shared priorities, and translating strategy into systems people can actually run.
The goal isn’t bureaucracy, it’s momentum that holds under pressure.
​
I’m typically brought in during periods of transition: post funding growth, operational reset, leadership change, or when execution starts to feel heavier than it should.
How I Work
I work as a strategic partner, not an external advisor.
I embed quickly, listen carefully, and diagnose root causes before prescribing solutions. My approach blends systems thinking with practical execution.
​
Building processes that are intuitive, adopted, and durable rather than impressive on paper.
Leaders work with me because they want fewer surprises, clearer decisions, and teams that can operate confidently without constant intervention.
Who I Work With
I work with:
-
Founders and CEOs of growth stage companies
-
Executive teams navigating scale or transition
-
Organizations that value thoughtful execution over heroics
Engagements range from fractional leadership to focused operational initiatives where senior ownership and follow through are critical.
​
For recruiters and hiring leaders, I bring senior level experience across strategy, operations, product, and design effective in contract roles and open to full-time leadership opportunities when the fit is right.
