I’m the person who keeps things running

These days I’m a fractional right hand for solo consultants / small service businesses: the person you bring in when you need to step away from your business and can’t afford for things to fall apart.

What I do

You built something that works, but it works because you touch everything. Then a moment comes when you can’t, or just don’t want to anymore — parental leave, a sabbatical, a family emergency, a big project you’re finally making room for, even just a vacation.

That’s when I step in. I take the whole thing: your clients, your delivery, the day-to-day running of it. This isn't specialty help, like how a copywriter creates your copy or an ads person manages your ads. I keep your whole business running so nothing drops while you’re out.

I built this service because I needed it and couldn’t find it. When my business partner and I were writing our book, we spent close to a year trying to hire someone senior enough to hand the client work to — someone whose quality bar was as high as ours, who we'd trust with the client relationships, not just the tasks.

We never found her. So now I’m being her.

A little background

I was employee #2 at Calendly, co-founded the consultancy Forget the Funnel (and co-wrote the book), and I currently lead Customer Success at Attune.
