34 years in corporate banking taught me what actually scales a business.
I started as a Switchboard Operator and New Accounts Representative. I left as Director and EVP of Retail Banking and Training, having been part of more than 1,000 hiring decisions, led teams through 15 acquisitions in seven years, and managed 22 direct reports.
On April 19, 2019, I walked out of corporate for the last time. What I built next wasn't a marketing agency or a coaching business. It became a business transformation firm, because the real problem I kept seeing in entrepreneurs was never a tools problem. It was a bottleneck problem. The owner had become the ceiling on their own company's growth.
That's the work now: helping business owners build the leadership, systems, and relationships that let their business grow without depending on them for every decision.
