Our Services
Each service is an entry point, but never a standalone one. In practice, they are interwoven: how you source shapes impact, how digital tools shape relationships, and strategy must reflect values. Wherever the work begins, we follow the thread to where it naturally leads.
Ways to work together
HOURLY CONSULTING
Collaborative sessions for founders exploring strategic direction—brainstorming possibilities, evaluating options, and getting direct feedback. Receive post-session documentation with insights and suggested actions.
PROJECT BASED
This is a hands-on engagement for a defined initiative. We'll define scope, establish milestones, and work through execution together. Includes progress check-ins, iteration feedback, and final deliverables with documentation.
FRACTIONAL
I join your team part-time to drive strategy, execution, and key initiatives. Perfect for founders who need experienced leadership and hands-on guidance without committing to a full-time role.
