You're running something real. A creative agency, a retreat, an e-commerce brand, an experience.
You're good at it. Really good.
But the dropped balls, the backlog that's been haunting you, the stuff that keeps falling through the cracks because you're too busy keeping the lights on?
That's where I live.
And I'm really good at it.
I'm not going to hand you a framework and wish you luck.
I'm the person you can think out loud with. I'll ask the tough questions, help you see what you're too close to, and then actually help you do something about it.
Who I work with
01
You're the bottleneck and you know it
You built the thing and people want it. But you're still the one holding everything together and it's starting to cost you. You need a person, not a new platform.
02
You're doing the work of three people
Driven, talented, and running on fumes. Priorities are fuzzy, projects stall, and the backend of your business is held together with good intentions. Something has to change.
03
You hired help but you're still involved in everything
Your team is good but the infrastructure isn't there yet. Decisions still land on your desk and you know you're leaving growth on the table. You need someone to build what your team can actually work inside of.
You didn't build this to spend your days putting out fires.
Not your typical CoS
I bring both process and a creative brain. I'll work through the hard decisions with you and then actually help you execute them.
I work with founders who are building something real because that's where I do my best work. I know what it feels like to care deeply about something you built. You'll feel that difference.
Over 15 years of proof that the right person in the room changes everything.

what founders say
"Anyone who's worked in TV animation knows endless stories about crunch times and missed deadlines. Working with Vicki was a decidedly different experience. We completed on budget, on schedule and this experience reset my own beliefs about how productions could be run."

"I didn't just receive support, I gained a true partner who made my work smoother and more organized."
Devon Combs, Founder, Unbridled Retreats
