Strategic Partnership for Solo Founders + Small Teams
I help founders and small teams make better decisions, build operational clarity + excellence, and grow sustainably
What I Do
I partner with founders and small teams (1-3 people) to solve the problems that block sustainable growth:
-Strategic paralysis (too many options, not enough clarity on what actually moves the needle)
-Team misalignment (everyone's working hard, but not in the same direction)
-Founder burnout (you've outgrown your current operating system and it's unsustainable)
Through coaching, advisory, and embedded partnership, I help you build the internal systems to grow—without sacrificing your sanity, your team, or your vision.
Who I Work With
Solo founders making every decision alone
Founders with team members who need embedded support
Founders who value strategic clarity over "hustle harder" advice
What I Bring
✅ High-integrity coaching and thought partnership to build capacity and momentum
✅ Strategic clarity & founder coaching rooted in personal and professional growth
✅ Marketing strategy, priorities, operational excellence (hiring, process efficiency, optimization)
✅ Launch, processes, and growth support anchored in clarity and operational precision
✅ Embedded leadership partnership with real-time decision support
Whether you're building your next chapter or recalibrating your current one—I help create breathing room, strategic foresight, and traction that sticks.
