Project Overview

Joined an incubation firm specializing in launching and nurturing new businesses, initially as a contractor on individual projects. The role quickly evolved into a core operational leadership position — overseeing client acquisition, process design, and the systematization of the firm’s end-to-end support model.

Approach

  1. Client Acquisition Engine: Designed a scalable pipeline for new client development. Shifted from ad-hoc, relationship-driven sales to a repeatable, data-informed acquisition flow that ensured a steady deal pipeline.

  2. Operational Systematization: Standardized the support process across engagements. Built frameworks for knowledge accumulation and sharing, enabling consistent quality at scale without bottlenecks.

  3. Cross-Functional Leadership: Managed projects, teams, and client relationships across the board. Served as the connective hub between leadership and frontline teams, balancing speed of decision-making with execution rigor.

Results

  • Established a sustainable client acquisition model that drove consistent growth
  • Built an operational framework capable of supporting organizational scaling
  • The firm has since grown into a company of considerable scale
