Fractional operations leadership, from Kalamazoo to anywhere
I provide fractional executive leadership and strategic operations support to nonprofits, startups, and growing organizations — aligning people, priorities, and processes to turn ambitious ideas into measurable results.
What I believe
Great ideas don't stall because people lack passion. They stall when the vision never becomes a workable plan.
I believe the best results happen when people have clarity, ownership, and the freedom to do great work. I bring just enough structure, alignment, and accountability to turn complexity into momentum — and momentum into measurable results.
Four ways to work together. Most engagements blend two or three.
Strategic operations
Align strategy, people, processes and priorities, and set up the rhythm that keeps results on track.
Organizational effectiveness
Clarify who owns what and how decisions get made, so people can do their best work and the organization can grow.
Change enablement
Practical roadmaps, clear communication, testing and training that carry a new system or structure all the way to go-live.
Fractional leadership
Senior operations leadership for the critical stretch: a transformation, a growth spurt, or a gap at the top.
I talk with leadership and the team, map how work really flows today, and name the few things holding progress back.
We build the roadmap, operating model and financial picture side by side, so the plan belongs to the people who will run it.
I lead execution with your team, then hand off a system that keeps working after I step back.
About
I'm a strategic leader, problem solver, and builder of momentum.
For more than 20 years, I've helped organizations turn big ideas into meaningful results. My experience spans executive leadership, operations, technology, finance, and organizational transformation — from leading cross-functional teams to navigating complex change.
I founded MAD CAT Strategy because I believe great ideas deserve great execution. I partner with growing businesses, startups, and nonprofits as a fractional leader and strategic partner, bringing the clarity, structure, and momentum they need to move forward.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and people-first. I love connecting the dots, aligning teams, and turning complexity into progress.
Think. Move. Go Further.
Have a big idea, a complex challenge, or a team that needs momentum? Let's talk.
