Sometimes we start businesses to birth ideas, and sometimes because it’s the best option available. I started my company out of necessity. I was 7 months pregnant and realized being COO of a VC-backed tech startup was not going to work for me. 

When I started working with self-funded founders, I realized they often started off the same way I did, and wanted to build on their mission to change how we work, offer good jobs, and build a financially healthy company that rewards their full value. From my roles as a banker, financial planner, and executive at VC-backed startups, I knew there were lots of ways for these founders to be successful CEOs on their own terms. 

So I made your strategic operations my business. There’s a big challenge in the life of your company, what I call the awkward adolescence. You’ve found customers and are making okay money, but now you want to double, triple, maybe even 10x the company. In this phase, every dollar and decision counts. It’s hard to find the right support.

I help you move your company through the decisions and challenges that come with the next level of growth.
