Who you work with determines how far you'll go

We live and work by the idea that it's better to go together than alone and there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.
Our most effective outcomes happen when we are aligned with the Founders, CEOs, and Executive Directors we serve. Whether our clients share our faith or not, they benefit from knowing we have a calling to steward our gifts and talents in service to others.
Working together creates strength for your next steps
You are a unique innovator. You're changing the world in a different way than everyone else. That's your unique selling proposition (USP).
It's exactly why we don't do cookie-cutter solutions.
Whether it's fractional operations support, leadership advisory, or team dynamics, we've got the experience to hit the ground running. Quickly. We've done it before so we know how to catch your vision and roll up our sleeves to build more team momentum.
We co-create action plans and a cadence that's just as unique as your business.
Then, we walk with you through the growth and scale until you don't need us anymore because you've built the team and frameworks that will support your next season of growth.
We'll help you expand your highest and best contribution - or get back to it if you're feeling caught in middle of everything.
Holly Brown
Fractional Ops Director
I'm an Integrator and Operations Leader.
I've spent my career moving through the seats closest to the founder - Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, Operations Manager. Each one taught me something different about what it actually takes to build a well-run organization.
Along the way, I built and ran two businesses. I know the craziness - the amazing experiences and the rough ones.
Who am I outside of work? A Christian, wife, and mom of three. I enjoy reading, puzzles, dirtbiking, and classic movies (think 1930s and 40s).

My career has included leadership and supporting roles in technology, professional services, pharmaceuticals, financial services, healthcare IT, and the trades. Those roles have covered everything from small business to work with Fortune 100 companies in some of the most recognized brands in the world.
My greatest professional accomplishments have come from the people I've been able to mentor in various executive leadership roles from Director, Chief Operating Officer, and CEO.
I'm also the author of Engineering Wisdom: A Practical Guide To Building Leadership That Lasts
I'm a Christian, husband of one and a dad to three. We love our time outside hiking, kayaking light rapids, tearing up the mountain biking trails. Our less nature-focused pursuits involve a growing education in learning to drive performance cars and spending time at mixed class auto racing events.
