I spent a decade building and scaling businesses from the inside—not as a consultant, but as an operator in the trenches. Now I help founders fix what's broken and build what's missing.
Founder of The Minerva Collective. Former operator turned strategic partner for businesses with stuck revenue and misaligned founders.
Learn More About My WorkThe problem I see everywhere
Founders are stuck. Revenue has plateaued. Operations are chaotic. Systems are broken or nonexistent. And despite investing thousands in coaches, courses, and consultants, nothing fundamentally changes.
Why? Because most consultants deliver strategy decks and disappear. They give you frameworks that sound good but don't fit your business. They promise transformation but leave you with the same problems—just reframed.
You don't need another framework. You don't need more advice. You need someone who will diagnose what's actually broken, build what's actually missing, and execute alongside you until it works.
How I got here
I spent 10+ years building and scaling businesses from the inside. Not from the sidelines giving advice, but in the trenches—managing teams, rebuilding revenue systems, fixing broken operations, and getting my hands dirty with the work that actually moves needles.
I held leadership roles in marketing, operations, and revenue at companies ranging from bootstrapped startups to venture-backed scale-ups. I built the systems that took businesses from chaos to scale, from plateaued revenue to sustainable growth.
I've rebuilt sales processes that tripled conversion rates. Streamlined operations that cut overhead by 40%. Built digital infrastructure that scaled businesses from six to eight figures.
And I did it all while working alongside founders who were stuck, frustrated, and tired of consultants who talked a good game but never delivered.
What I've actually done
Revenue Systems Rebuilt
Specialized in fixing plateaued revenue engines: offer optimization, pricing strategy, sales process design, and conversion optimization. Results include $4,400+ monthly revenue increases and $10,000+ in new monthly recurring revenue for clients.
50+ Businesses Consulted
Worked with founders across coaching, consulting, agencies, e-commerce, and SaaS. Every engagement focused on execution, not just strategy. Real implementations, not theoretical frameworks.
Digital Infrastructure Built
Led full-scale website builds, funnel development, automation implementation, and operational system design. Not just for looks—for conversion and scale. Built to work, not just to look good.
My philosophy
Execution over education
You're not paying me to teach you how to fix your business. You're paying me to fix it. I do the work, not just advise on the work.
Honesty over hype
If I can't help you, I'll say so. If another solution is better, I'll recommend it. No guarantees of 10x growth. Just honest assessment and real results.
Custom over cookie-cutter
Every business is different. I audit your specific situation, identify your specific problems, and build specific solutions.
Systems over tactics
I build sustainable infrastructure: revenue systems, operational processes, and digital foundations that scale. Not growth hacks—real systems.

How I Work
Why I built The Minerva Collective
The Minerva Collective exists because I got tired of watching founders invest in coaches, courses, and consultants who left them with nothing but strategy decks and empty promises.
You don't need another framework. You don't need more theory. You need someone who will diagnose what's actually broken, build what's actually missing, and execute alongside you until it works.
That's what we do. No hype. No guarantees of 10x growth. Just honest diagnostics, strategic execution, and systems that scale.
Why "Minerva"?
Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and practical skills. Not just knowledge for its own sake, but wisdom applied to execution. Strategic thinking paired with tactical execution. That's what this work is about—not theory, but practical systems that work in the real world.
Who I work with
Plateaued Revenue
Your revenue has been stuck at the same level for months or years. You've tried different tactics, but nothing creates sustainable growth.
Chaotic Operations
Your business runs, but barely. Systems are broken, processes are inefficient, and you're constantly firefighting instead of building.
Missing Infrastructure
You need websites, funnels, automation, or digital systems but don't have the time or expertise to build them yourself.
Two ways I can help
Depending on what you're dealing with, I offer two distinct paths—one for business problems, one for internal alignment.
The Minerva Collective
For Business Tension
Your revenue is stuck, operations are broken, or infrastructure is missing. You need someone to diagnose, rebuild, and execute—not just advise.

For Internal Tension
Your business is fine, but you're exhausted or misaligned. You need clarity on purpose, identity, and sustainable alignment—not another strategy.
Learn MoreThe Minerva Collective
As founder of The Minerva Collective, I provide strategic execution services including revenue optimization, operations design, and digital infrastructure builds.
What we offer

Digital Infrastructure
Full-scale websites, funnels, automation, and systems designed for conversion and scale.
Energetic Blueprint Intensive
6-week private 1:1 intensive for founders who are energetically misaligned. This isn't business coaching—it's deep work on purpose, identity, and sustainable alignment.
This intensive is for you if:
Your business is successful, but you feel exhausted, disconnected, or unfulfilled
You're building from obligation or external validation instead of authentic purpose
The tactics work, but something fundamental feels off or unsustainable
You need clarity on your identity, purpose, or next chapter—not another business strategy
What's included
6-week private intensive with deep energetic work, identity clarification, purpose alignment, and sustainable growth frameworks. This is personal transformation work, not business strategy. Completely separate from The Minerva Collective.
Limited availability. Application required.
Book a MeetingMy working principles
I don't pitch
If I can't help you, I'll say so. If someone else is better suited, I'll recommend them. I'm here to solve problems, not sell services you don't need.
I don't use frameworks
Every business is different. I audit your specific situation, identify your specific problems, and build specific solutions that work for you.
I don't just advise
You're not paying me to teach you. You're paying me to execute. I write the copy, build the systems, optimize the processes—then train your team to maintain them.
I don't make promises
No guarantees of 10x growth or overnight success. Just honest assessment, strategic execution, and systems that create sustainable results.
