STRUCTURE + STRATEGY = SANITY

Meet Your Small Business Strategist

You didn’t leave corporate just to rebuild the same kind of unhealthy chaos. Isn’t it time for you to run your own business with confidence and clarity—because you built it in a way that actually works? When you have pricing, policies, and procedures that work for you, you won’t give up your weekends or lose your mind trying to figure it all out by yourself. You bring your brilliance. I’ll create the framework to support it.

 Let's Build a Business That Works for You.

I work with women entrepreneurs who are done “winging it.” You’re smart, capable, and deeply committed to what you do, but the backend of your business doesn’t always reflect that. Together, we’ll put the structure in place so your business supports your life, not the other way around.

WHO’S BEHIND ALL THIS STRATEGY?

Your CEO Architect

Hi, I’m Kathleen — and I’m here to help you stop winging it.

I’ve spent 25+ years in marketing, business operations, and project management, and here’s what I know: most women don’t need more hustle — they need a better plan.

I help service-based female entrepreneurs build calm, structured businesses they can run easily and enjoy. Whether you’re starting out or scaling up, we’ll create smart systems that give you confidence, clarity, and your weekends back.

I’m based just outside Boston, and I’m a mom of five boys (yes, you read that right — five), including a set of twins. I meal plan like it’s a sport, and I believe a well-organized Google Drive can change lives.

If your business feels like it’s running you, let’s fix that — without the fluff, overwhelm, or burnout.

Practical, Not Prescriptive

You don’t need another generic business strategy or theoretical advice. We’ll meet where you’re at in your business today, build on what’s already working, and reimagine what’s not, without burning it all down.

Strategy + Execution

Ideas are easy. Execution is not.
I’ll close the gap between what you want to do and how it really gets done — with a clear plan, smarter systems, and an accountability partner that doesn’t judge.

Calm, Clear
& Consistent

Business owners (and aspiring entrepreneurs) hire me because I’m calm, consistent, and easy to work with. No hype, just confidence that comes from watching dozens of clients succeed on their own terms.

She Had the Vision

We Built the Business

  • Kaye came to me with a brilliant business idea and a clear sense of purpose — but no structure, no systems, and no idea how to actually launch it. She was passionate and experienced, but completely overwhelmed trying to figure out where to begin.

  • We built everything from the ground up. Together, we clarified her offers, set up her client onboarding process, mapped out her marketing plan, and chose tools that made sense for how she wanted to work. Step by step, we turned the vision into a business.

  • Kaye now has a launch-ready business, with systems she trusts, messaging that resonates, and a clear roadmap to bring her work into the world. She’s confident, focused, and excited — and she didn’t have to figure it out alone.
