Liminal — the space between “what was” and “what’s next” — a time of transition, uncertainty, and waiting. The old world is gone, but the new world hasn’t revealed itself yet.
Strategic Transitions.
Scalable Systems.
Sustainable Growth.
At Liminal Ops Consulting, I help business owners and operators tackle recurring problems that impede growth. My work is rooted in real-world experience, shaped by guiding companies—from startups to established businesses—through challenging transitions.
Many owners feel stuck fighting the same issues: unclear accountability, siloed teams, wasted resources, or the stress of growth. With a people and profit focus, I bring an outside perspective and hands-on support to help you regain clarity, streamline operations, and build a business that runs as a unified system—so you can stop patching problems and start moving forward with confidence.
My goal is to help owners enjoy seeing their businesses thrive again. I’m passionate about contributing to Bozeman and Southwest Montana, where strong businesses support employees, owners, and the community.
If you’re facing challenges or just want a fresh perspective, I’d love to connect and explore how I can help.
Based in Bozeman, Montana.
Mission
Empowering small businesses with budget-friendly, executive-level guidance to build resilient systems, continue steady growth, and lead strategic change.
In my experience, making executive-level strategy practical for small businesses takes more than templates and sitting on the sidelines… it calls for a thoughtful mix of proven operational methods and the right automation tools. Executing a vision that doesn’t exist yet takes humility, openness, and a willingness to break old habits and try new ways. From restructuring teams and fine-tuning day-to-day processes to navigating leadership shifts or scaling for the future, I help businesses get unstuck.
Vision
Building healthy, thriving businesses where people love to work — empowering them to grow sustainably, engage employees meaningfully, and uplift the communities they call home, creating a ripple effect of prosperity and resilience with whatever they touch.
I’m driven to see local businesses become pillars of opportunity and wellbeing — places where owners, employees, and neighbors all share in the rewards of sustainable success. There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than helping Bozeman and Southwest Montana thrive through strong, people-centered businesses that keep our communities uplifted.
