Before starting 4498 North, I spent more than 15 years in executive operations, including COO and SVP roles with full P&L responsibility. My work has included agency growth, with experience inside nonprofit and senior housing organizations.
Now I work directly with founders and their teams to fix what's slowing the business down. That might mean ongoing fractional leadership or a defined project. We agree on the help the business needs before work starts.
