Maryann S.

Business Operations Consultant | Strategy, Growth & Execution

Have a business challenge, growth opportunity, or project that needs both clear thinking and practical execution? I help founders, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses organize operations, research opportunities, coordinate projects, and turn business priorities into actionable next steps. My background combines business ownership with hands-on operational and leadership support. I've managed business activities, coordinated vendors and customers, supported research and outreach initiatives, organized workflows, and helped move projects from planning to execution. **How I Can Support Your Business** - **Business Operations:** Operational assessments, workflow organization, process improvement, and day-to-day coordination. - **Strategy & Research:** Market research, competitor analysis, opportunity assessments, vendor research, and practical recommendations. - **Project Coordination:** Project planning, task tracking, stakeholder communication, follow-up, and execution support. - **Executive & Founder Support:** Administrative coordination, scheduling, business documentation, presentations, research, and priority management. - **Growth & Partnerships:** Partnership research, outreach coordination, business development support, and initiative planning. - **Events & Special Projects:** Vendor coordination, timelines, logistics, materials, and operational planning. **What You Can Expect** I take time to understand the business objective, identify the important moving pieces, organize the information, and recommend practical next steps. I pay attention to both the details and the bigger picture. Whether you need a focused research project, an operations assessment, help launching an initiative, or ongoing support keeping your business organized, I can help you move forward with clarity and structure. **Let's discuss your project.** Send me a message explaining what you're working on, what's getting in the way, and what you'd like to accomplish. We can identify a practical starting point.
