Emily is one of the hidden gems in what has made my companies work.
She has a really great blend of experience in finance, marketing, culture, leadership, and team dynamics. So whenever she presents me with something I know she’s thought about it from multiple perspectives. I never have to worry that her suggestions could tank my business or put an excessive drain on the team. If you want to add a strategic, thoughtful person to your team, Emily is an excellent choice.
Making business
relational
As entrepreneurs, a lot of what we’re taught about business is individually focused rather than community focused.
This often leads to extractive, capitalist, and profit driven decision making that sacrifices the well-being of people and the planet. For those of us who care deeply about impact, contribution, and fulfillment in our work – this simply won’t do.
We need strategies on how to build ethical, relational, and community-based businesses. We also need our businesses to be financially sound and sustainable long-term.
We can have both.

What Our Clients Say
Julia taylor
founder of geekpack
Emily has a unique ability to look at situations from a lot of different angles and bring information to me in a succinct, yet empathic and actionable way.
The areas Emily works in – team dynamics, company culture, finance, and impact – can be highly emotional, yet she has a way of bringing facts and figures to me with care and empathy. There is a steadiness and confidence in the way she tackles problems and works to find the best possible solutions for all involved. She brings the perfect balance of calm consistency and non judgment curiosity to the complex challenges business founders face everyday.
