Team KPI visibility; streamlined systems • Accountability via monthly dashboard.
Tracie has been a huge asset to our team this year in an Operations Manager role. She works quickly and provides so much valuable insight into operations and systems. She put into place team KPI metrics and a dashboard to track those metrics every month. She takes the time to learn about your systems, people, and creates tailored suggestions on what works best for your business. She has been a huge help in streamlining systems for my whole team and we are excited to continue working with her.

Tracie helped us take an extraordinarily disorganized and confusing process and turn it into something clear, structured, and actionable. She asked the right questions, created an organized path forward, and guided the process with the perfect balance of firmness and kindness. Her work gave our team the structure we needed to improve, communicate, and move forward with more confidence.

Scalable ops leadership in a high-volume, remote construction environment
Tracie came into a high-velocity, operationally complex environment and added value immediately. She brought organization and clear thinking to a remote project management operation running dozens of concurrent remodels, and provided genuine thought leadership on how we could improve our overall processes and execution. Her construction and design experience made her credible with the team from day one.
