Meet Sam, Operations Nerd

Structure creates freedom. Let’s build yours.

You started your business because you loved something about it. But now? The day-to-day chaos is draining your energy. Your team moves too slowly, deadlines slip, and everything feels harder than it should. You know more structure would help, but you don’t want to be boxed in.

That’s where I come in.

I thrive on bringing clarity and momentum to growing teams. I love simple workflows, thriving cultures, and efficient strategies for using the tools that power your people. Business tools come naturally to me, but I know that people-first systems are the key to success.

No magic bullets. Just smart, proven systems.

No app or dashboard will fix misalignment on its own. With data-driven insights and over a decade of experience, I help you find the right systems, workflows, and tools to eliminate wasted time and drive results.

 
 
Sam is the perfect blend of creative visionary and driven integrator. My time in her cohort was pivotal in helping me accelerate my team.

My Background: Leadership, Operations, & Growth

I’ve spent my career turning high-performing teams into high-impact ones.

For eight years, I helped build The Lions Pride, growing from a few hours a week in a pre-revenue startup to serving as full-time COO of a thriving coaching company. My work as a Coach and Cohort Leader strengthened both our clients and our internal team.

Before that, I worked as an Integrator at the Global Leadership Network, supporting the team behind the world’s largest annual leadership event, the Global Leadership Summit. From operations to experience design, I helped create events that energized and challenged thousands of leaders.

 
I’m blown away by the way she handles details and projects as well as her level of buy-in.

Smarter Teams, Better Systems

I’ve worked remotely for over a decade, and I’m passionate about helping leaders move beyond ‘seat-warming’ to real, measurable success. Whether your team is remote, hybrid, or in-office, I help you build structures that work—without micromanaging.

When I’m not solving operations puzzles, you’ll find me playing with knives and fire (in my home kitchen, don’t worry) or planning our next family adventure. I’m the proud mom of two brilliant boys, the wife of an endlessly supportive husband, and the human servant to a cat named Taco Velociraptor.

Heard Enough?
