Work experience
  • Clients come to me when they’re ready to grow but need direction, structure, and smart capital to do it right. My role is part strategist, part builder, and part accountability partner—focused on unlocking growth while preserving the owner’s values and vision. I partner with solopreneurs, microenterprises, and small business owners who are ready to scale from operator to entrepreneur.
  • My approach combines strategic planning with hands-on guidance—helping founders move from the chaos of being run by their business to confidently leading it with clarity, systems, and sustainability. I bridge vision and execution, giving business owners the structure, tools, and accountability they need to grow without burning out.
  • Core Focus Areas:
  • Business Model Design & Growth Strategy
  • Capital Access Planning (Grants, Loans, Non-Extractive Funding)
  • Operational Efficiency & Systems Development
  • Financial Structuring for Growth by Acquisition or Exit
  • Acquisition Readiness & Transition Planning
  • If your business has outgrown its original playbook, let’s build the next one—so you can scale with confidence, increase capacity, and take back control.
