I help well-funded founders turn chaos into scalable operations without killing what makes them special.
I specialize in the beautiful mess - well-funded companies doing important work who've outgrown their scrappy beginnings but don't want to lose their innovative edge.
What makes me different: Bringing financial services discipline to ambitious chaos. I can build systems that scale intentionally while preserving what makes you special.
Perfect for:
Series A/B companies drowning in operational complexity
Companies building something that matters, ready to scale without losing their edge
Wellness entrepreneurs ready to scale beyond the founder's personal network
International expansion that needs structure, not just hope
Companies where "move fast and break things" broke too many things
You get: Someone who's built operations from Freetown to Wall Street, who understands both compliance and creativity, both growth and governance.
Elevate your performance with an operational partner who delivers impact from day one.
