This Might Sound Familiar...
“I can’t be the only one running point on cross-functional projects anymore.”
“I have a clear vision, but it keeps getting lost in execution.”
“My team is capable, but alignment breaks down constantly.”
Which layer do you need?
Startups come in different shapes, sizes, and stages of chaos. The right support depends on where things are breaking down and what needs to move next. I act as a senior executive operator who absorbs complexity so you can focus on direction, not coordination. Here are some examples of how I can layer into your team:
Cross-Functional Layer
When Product, Marketing, Dev, and Operations are all moving, but not in sync. I step in to create clarity, ownership, and forward motion across teams.
I understand the priorities and needs of each function and can connect them all back to larger company goals.
Founder Support Layer
When everything routes through the founder and it’s slowing the company down. I absorb complexity and run execution so leadership can focus on direction.
I've been a right hand before as a Chief of Staff and know how to best unlock Founder potential.
Team Growth Layer
When the company is scaling but structure hasn’t caught up. I help define roles, processes, and decision pathways that reduce friction without adding bureaucracy.
Whether it's a disjointed Marketing team, a Creative or Dev team struggling to prioritize requests, or junior team members in need of leadership, I've done it all.
Special Projects Layer
When something critical needs to get done and no one has the bandwidth or cross-functional authority to own it. I take full ownership and drive it from strategy to completion.
​
I’ve led high-stakes, cross-functional initiatives including product launches, rebrands, digital overhauls, supplier transitions, and expansion plans.
A layer within, not just frosting on top
There’s a reason I chose Layer Cake Works. I have the most impact when I’m embedded inside the team, executing alongside it. I’m an operator, not a distant advisor dropping recommendations from above.
