Work with me.

I work with a small number of founders, owners, and CEOs who want an operator's honest read, not a slide deck. Designer turned CEO. I treat the customer experience and the profit and loss statement as the same sentence read twice.

02 / How we start

Frictionless, by design

No long sales cycle. Three steps from first call to first day.

STEP 01

A 15 minute fit call

We confirm the problem is one I can move, and which tier fits. Free, no pressure.

STEP 02

A flat quote

I scope it and send one clear number. No hourly surprises, no scope creep.

STEP 03

We begin that week

You confirm by email and we start. No long sales cycle, no procurement maze.

03 / Why me

Numbers are the proof

I have carried a profit and loss statement, not just a brand guideline. The work shows up in the scoreboard.

How I work

Care without truth is sentimentality. Truth without care is cruelty. The job is both.

04 / Questions

Good to know

What if I am between two tiers?

Book the fit call and tell me. Often the audit answers a question you thought needed a retainer, and saves you money.

Do you work hourly?

For the Power Session, yes, at $750 per hour with a two hour minimum. The audit and the seat are flat by design, so you carry no meter.

Remote or onsite?

Remote by default, from Phoenix. Onsite for the audit or retainer is available with travel costs at actuals.

How do payments work?

Card or bank, by invoice. The Power Session is paid at booking. The audit is 50% to begin. The retainer is billed monthly.

Not sure which one fits?
