Build the operations your growth demands
Fractional operations and project management for scaling SMBs and startups that want to run better, not just bigger
Growth exposes the gaps
The systems and habits that got you here weren’t built for where you’re going.
You might be noticing:
The same mistakes keep happening, and fixes don’t stick
Decisions stall because no one’s sure who owns them, so they land back on leadership
Big initiatives start strong, then stall halfway through or lose momentum
Goals get set in a planning session then never revisited
The team collects data but don’t always use it to make operational decisions
This isn’t a people problem. It’s a systems problem.
I’m Kate, your ops alchemist
I help growing companies fix the systems, processes, and projects that are slowing them down so they can scale without losing the quality and culture that got them here.
I’ve spent over a decade in operations, project management, and process improvement, from leading improvement initiatives at Boeing as an industrial engineer to scaling multi-market operations at a Series B startup to helping growing small businesses build their operational backbone from the ground up. I’ve seen what works, and what breaks, at every stage.
But clients don’t hire me for credentials alone. They hire me because I can walk into a business, see the broader picture, and connect dots that easily get missed. I ask a lot of questions. I spot patterns. And I don’t stop at a plan; I facilitate the conversations that get people aligned, lead the work, and train the team so it sticks.
Whether it’s leading a project, driving operational change, or facilitating a workshop, my goal is the same: build infrastructure your team owns and your business can scale on.
