Operational Consulting for Early Stage Startups

Elevate your operations.

Is Your Startup Stuck in Operational Chaos?

Inefficient operations can cripple your startup, leading to missed deadlines, wasted resources, employee turnover, and unhappy customers.

You’re wearing too many hats and unsure where to focus your limited time.

Good news. You’re in the right place. 

I help early-stage startups de-risk their growth by implementing simple, scalable operational foundations that prevent costly mistakes, enabling you to scale confidently and focus on innovation and success.

My approach involves:

    • Analyzing your business, people, and administrative operations.
    • Identifying areas for improvement and streamlining workflows. 
    • Advising on time management best practices and training your support staff to excel. 
    • Supporting you through the process of hiring the right support staff, should you need it.

With my guidance, you can stop drowning in operational details. 

Streamline with operational consulting and get back to building.

How I Can Help

Having collaborated with founders and their teams from some of Silicon Valley’s most successful startups, including the CEO/founders of Databricks (v. $62B) and Segment (acquired by Twilio for $3.2B), my expertise spans pre-IPO to public companies.

For over a decade, I served as an operational leader and high-level administrator. My ability to bridge the gap between leadership and employees cultivated trust and respect across the org. Enabling me to streamline workflows, increase communication, and expedite problem-solving.

What You Will Get

Operational Efficiency

Avoid inconsistencies with unified solutions. My cross-departmental experience will ensure cohesive deliverables and seamless communication.

Cost Savings

Instead of hiring multiple domain experts, you get the expertise of one seasoned professional.

Avoid Retrofitting

Rectifying previous lapses in processes is expensive and time consuming. Set up robust systems early to limit the time new department heads and specialists spend rebuilding.

Unified Communication

One point of contact limits the need to juggle communications between a bevy of consultants. Dots will be connected across the org.

Holistic Advisory

My cross-departmental experience and holistic approach will identify knowledge gaps and ensure comprehensive advisory that bridges gaps between departments.

Unbiased Consultation

Engaging domain experts is inevitable, especially in legal & financial matters. But, not every project requires a “big gun.” I’ll guide you on which areas need intervention & the expertise required. Ensuring you only allocate resources when necessary.
