Operational Consulting
for Early Stage Startups

Elevate your operations.
Reach new heights.

Disorganized operations hindering your ability to scale?

Want to streamline but can’t find time?

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

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

Good news. You’re in the right place. 

I help early-stage startups overcome operational hurdles and build a strong foundation for sustainable growth. 

  • I’ll analyze your business, people, and administrative operations.
  • Identify areas for improvement, and help streamline your workflows.
  • I’ll advise on best practices for time management and train your support staff to be at the top of their game.
  • If you don’t have support staff, I’ll help you find some good ones.

With my guidance, you can focus more on product development and market fit, and less on operational minutiae.

Streamline your operations. 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.
