WHO WE ARE

We Are Experts.

We are former startup executives and Fortune 100 management consultants.

We have seen strategy, operations, and people done right, and we have seen them done wrong.

Our experience enables us to quickly diagnose and fix problems across the business - the right way.

We Are Builders.

We know this space because we have been in it.

We understand the challenges, the ambiguity, and the opportunities of early stage companies.

We are here because innovation is the only way to change the future.

We Are Brave.

We saw a gaping business need and we created an innovative solution to address it.

We try new things to continuously improve, and we say what needs to be said, even when it is hard.

We show up and we are accountable for our mistakes and successes alike.

TESTIMONIALS

  • George Korsnick. Startup Founder. CTO. Y Combinator Alum.

    “As an experienced entrepreneur and tech leader, I can attest that the line between success and failure hinges on executing well from the very beginning. Monica and Hannah are big picture problem solvers, who roll up their sleeves and do the detailed work needed to drive execution. Early stage companies rarely have the chance to work with this type of a team.”

  • Elayne Wang. Financial Services. Ex-Big 4.

    “Monica was my mentor at EY for many years. She cares deeply about people and was always willing to help jump in and fix things, whether it was helping me think more strategically or digging in to finish a work product with me. She is approachable and hands on, and brings a unique perspective based on years of experience with general business operations across all types of teams.”

  • John Todd. Long-time Investor / Advisor. Startup CFO.

    “When startup teams confront challenges, knowing in which directions to sprint is critical. Hannah and Monica have been in the trenches, devised creative solutions, and marshalled limited resources to achieve game-changing results. They are effective across teams and bring real value to every level of the organization.”

  • Chardee Allee. Startup Executive. Global Insights Director. Ex-Big 4.

    “Hannah and I worked closely together at CB4 when we were a B-round startup headed towards a successful acquisition. She built the People Ops team and turned it into a value adding function. By the time I joined, Hannah had designed and implemented the resources I needed as a business leader to optimize my team.”
