explore your options
Lead with confidence. Operate with clarity. Grow with purpose.
helping you lead better so your business can run better.
Welcome to my private practice for organizational leadership and operational clarity—built for small businesses with growing teams, complex day-to-day operations, and leaders carrying more than they should.
I work with business owners and leadership teams who want to run their business differently. Not just bigger, but those who also want better.
Whether you’re leading a team of 3 or managing 40+ people across locations, the leadership challenges often feel the same: too much is stuck in your head, too many people rely on you, and there’s no space to think.
I help you resolve these issues without creating more complexity in the process.
Hi, I’m Katie—founder of The Outsourced COO.
