Hi, I’m Kelly — a strategy and operations guru.

I help founders & executives save time, avoid burnout and scale a thriving business.

You’re considering hiring me because your business is scaling, diversifying or pivoting.

You know that to succeed at this critical juncture, you need to hire someone like Kelly — a whip smart ‘systems person’ who can expertly eliminate, automate & re-create core aspects of your biz.

More than anything — you need someone you can trust. Because if you’re going to burn your existing operating setup down to the ground, you need to know the person doing it will approach things methodically (& safely!). And of course, with the goal of you rising from the ashes a transformed business and leader.

Leaders who work with me get 20-30% of their (& their team’s) time & energy back in the short term.

I achieve this using frameworks I’ve created after working at rocketship start-ups (Uber, Snap) that improve organization, up-level working rhythms and simplify operating procedures. This will allow you to focus on the revenue generating changes your business needs — and not burn out in doing so.

In the long term, the systems we set up will allow your business to grow in a sustainable fashion. You won’t need to over-hire and/or take on additional low level work yourself.

To work together — you should already have a financially thriving business. You know that while the way you & your business has operated led you to your success today, it won’t get you to the future success you’re dreaming of.

Because to you, a big team isn’t the answer. Working smart, lean & efficient is.

A bit more about how I help

Ensuring you spend intentionally

At every job I’ve ever held, I’ve made myself redundant in 9 months or less. I thrive at bringing cost efficiency to businesses. Hire me to reduce the manual operating costs of your business through re-vamping relationships, processes and tooling.

Ensuring you make good on your commitments

I was the woman called in to fix a poorly organized 10,000+ person event with a few days notice. I thrive cleaning up really messy messes. Hire me if you up to your neck in it, and are overwhelmed by looming commitments or complex & grand plans.

Ensuring you build long-lasting trust

I launched the Snap pop-up store on 5th Ave in NYC, where I made the 8+ hour queues delightful for employees & customers. I am a human behavior savant. Hire me to identify areas of your business that unknowingly feel frustrating to customers, but can be elevated to include a sense of magic.

Ensuring you feel cool, calm & collected

I managed to convince 100’s of my (very strong willed) Uber colleagues to align to a single way of operating without ruffling any feathers. I understand the psychology of influencing people inside and out, and as such bring a sense of candor & calm to difficult conversations. Hire me if you need to add some experienced zen to difficult business decisions.

So when an executive assistant just isn’t going to cut it, I’m your girl. I offer project based or fractional ‘chief-of-staff’ style services that will take your business or initiative to new heights.
