Meet our team of operations experts and nerds

A serial entrepreneur since I was 16, at my core, I’m a maker and a builder. I love to uncover the improvements that make the most impact and then build solutions other people can maintain. I’ve been nicknamed the “all-seeing eye” and love to dive into a focus block and produce something magical that was just what the team needed to be set up for success. I also have a personal passion for finding and empowering hidden gems – the folks who often get overlooked but are secretly wonderful team members if only someone knew how to nurture their potential.

I've been building high-growth operations teams – large and small – for over 10 years.
I began my career working with online entrepreneurs who showed me how to hit big revenue goals with small budgets. Eventually I made my way into Silicon Valley where I fell in love with building things from the ground up at mission-driven tech startups. I’m powered by an insatiable curiosity for life and a passion for helping people create magic in their operations.

Driven by insatiable curiosity and a belief in living authentically, I have a knack for building workplaces where people and businesses flourish. My diverse experience has taken me from the startup world to co-founding my own company focused on equitable and inclusive work environments. I am a Operations with a bias for action and a love for anything collaborative. I'm a guide and an empowerer who loves optimizing processes and helping people unleash their full potential.

When starting my career in the real estate world, I accidentally fell in love with recruiting even more than selling houses. If I’m not researching candidates and reviewing applications, I’m likely road tripping across America to the mountains, beaches, and everywhere in between. Fueled by my crippling coffee addiction, love to photograph breathtaking destinations, and longing to find the best hole in the wall restaurants that the locals adore.

I am a dedicated Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting graduate with over 7 years of diverse working experience across various fields. My journey began as a bookkeeper, and I have since honed my skills in both academia and the accounting industry. I'm a Certified Public Accountant in the Philippines with two internationally recognized certifications, the Registered Cost Accountant and Certified Bookkeeper. In short, I love accounting.

With a varied background spanning both the BPO industry and freelance contracting, I have discovered my fervor lies within operations and project management. I am deeply committed to guiding and overseeing operations, providing unwavering support to unlock their utmost potential and achieve optimal results. I advocate for inclusive and diverse workplaces, recognizing their capacity to foster excellence.
Beyond professional pursuits, I am dedicated to volunteering with environmental causes and aiding stray dogs and cats. Raised with the belief that I can be their advocate, I find immense fulfillment in giving voice to these creatures. Overall, life is an extraordinary gift.

From working in the intelligence community to over a decade in Silicon Valley to somatic coaching to master certified BBQ judge… I’ve been told by folks they never know what I will get into next. I’m a deep generalist. I believe what matters most is kindness, playfulness, good food, nature, and movement. I’m passionate about building teams with sustainable longterm strategy so they can be great without me.

I’ve combined a decades-long (and seriously fun!) career leading finance, accounting, and operations for Fortune 500 companies, like NBC, CBS, and FOX, with a New York State CPA license and the belief that any business owner can be equipped with the tools and support necessary to take ownership of their own success journey. I've founded two companies, all while being a single mom of 4 sons (no, I'm not totally gray yet!).

I’ve helped grow over 40 companies in a wide variety of industries, including as an early stage investor. I founded 5 companies. I’m a philanthropist and an International Marketing Consultant with work in India, England, Estonia, South Africa, Canada, and the US.

Fun and spreadsheets are not mutually exclusive, and if you ever thought so, I am deadset on proving you wrong.

After a stint in corporate as a Chartered Accountant, I traded high heels and pencil skirts for backpacking my way through South America. Along the way, I started a consulting business and helped dozens of entrepreneurs “lift the fog” when it came to business finances.

I’m a certified Director of Operations, which means my advice is grounded in the day-to-day of running your business – not as solely an accountant behind a spreadsheet.

I am a generalist whose happy place is anywhere there is coffee. I enjoy the process of closing loops, devising new ways to enhance performance and upgrade how things are done. Outside work, I’m a fulltime mom with a mission of using my grit to get the most out of life—even with three kids. Life has been colorful and messy. But at the end of the day, there’s so much beauty and love.

I am a Communications, Operations & Coordinator and Talent expert whose career has spanned industries and roles, from digital marketing for large corporations to managing operations of nonprofit organizations. I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology, authentic communication, and team collaboration to optimize processes, manage complexity, drive efficiency, and amplify results. When I’m not using these skill to help organizations thrive and become more efficient, you can find me enjoying motherhood with my two young boys, live music with my husband, or by the water.

I am wide and varied experienced Administrative and Marketing Assistant!
I navigate the office landscape with finesse, from hospitality to finance. Need a jack of all trades? That's my specialty! I thrive on rapid learning, strategic navigation, and excel at handling tricky situations, particularly in a pinch. Meticulously detail-oriented, and radiating positive vibes, I'm enthusiastic about advancing my career and adding a touch of magic to every step of my professional journey!

Hey there! I'm Sarah, and I'm not your typical Executive Assistant—I'm a dynamic force with a background as diverse as the tasks I conquer. In my professional journey, I've delved into the complexities of Cognitive Psychology, navigated the challenging landscape of small business ownership, and found solace in the art of knitting. These threads may seem disparate, but they all converge in a common fabric—an unwavering passion for learning (everything!) and a commitment to data-driven decision-making.

I love figuring out how to make systems work for people, which I’ve done in some very disparate environments. This includes helping train classroom facilitators and build engaging community ESL programs, working with nonprofits, faith organizations, and immigrant communities. I also have experience in more structured settings, such as learning the intricacies of insurance as a dental admin and being a Chief of Staff for an innovative, fast-paced small startup. Being a part of small, mission-led teams is where I have built my career and what I love to do.

A strategic partner for technology leaders.
I'm a deep thinker who gets excited about taking on bold challenges. A minimalist who believes less is more and that people make big efforts worthwhile.
  With a background in computer science and software engineering, I've spent the past decade building software with incredible organizations (from early-stage startups to large enterprises). Over the years, I've been fortunate to see the world through different lenses as an engineer, manager, founder, investor and advisor. My biggest takeaway is that things rarely go as planned, and that being able to adapt is the ultimate driver of success. In light of this, I have come to embrace the agile philosophy: human interactions over processes and tools, working systems over comprehensive documentation, collaboration over negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan.

I’m a third-culture kid who’s been a non-conformist since I remember. This approach has led me to work with innovative companies all around the world… literally! I’m passionate about people, intercultural communication and designing unique working environments in both start-ups and corporations. My keyword is always “people-centric”. I hold a legal degree, specializing in employment law and an MBA in Intercultural Managerial Communication. I also speak 5 languages and I travel the world… extensively!

I am an IT wizard with a knack for turning tech challenges into triumphs. With a background as an IT Business Analyst, I've navigated the realms of both enterprise giants and nimble small businesses. Specializing in software builds, platform migrations, and data management, I'm the go-to problem solver for identifying bottlenecks in processes and workflows.

A strategic mind wrapped in the heart of a nurturer, I've been the backbone of operations for women in business, harmonizing their professional and personal worlds. From managing dual households across different states to facilitating my boys' school transitions, I tackle life's complexities head-on. My journey includes embracing the quirks of raising neurodivergent children and continuously adapting my business to better align with my evolving life. I'm passionate about not just surviving but thriving through the challenges, helping others do the same.

Motivated by dedication to nurturing growth and fostering inclusive environments, I thrive on constructing collaborative workplaces where individuals and businesses can truly flourish. Whether navigating the dynamic terrain of startups or spearheading ventures aimed at cultivating equitable work cultures, my journey has been characterized by an unwavering commitment to authenticity and empowerment. With a diverse background spanning various industries and roles, I bring a wealth of experience in business development, operations, and customer success to every endeavor. My approach is guided by a belief in the power of genuine connections and the importance of aligning people with shared goals to drive collective success.

Bringing a can-do attitude to whatever I do, my duality is my strength. I am a do-it-yourself-er who can also delegate and thrive in teams of all shapes and sizes. While my career journey began with a degree in Hospitality working for a country club, I found I wanted a more personal way to fulfill my passion for helping people. Taking that motivation to the corporate world, I honed in on what I do best: helping others by picking up the smallest details, organizing chaos, learning everything around me, and providing the utmost level of executive support. No matter the industry, I was the driving force for small start-ups and large corporations alike not only backing CEO’s, but a private school Admissions team and—after obtaining my Paralegal Certification—General Counsels as well. Working with such a wide array of executives, my versatility grew into marketing, event planning, contracts management, document creation management, and customer service. Now, with Magical Teams, I continue my quest to be that go-to person you can trust.

Hey hey! I'm Renata and I'm a generalist through and through - I can trace my generalist roots back to high school and college where I took classes in as many different disciplines as I could. After working in the corporate logistics and supply chain industry for 5 years (working 3 different jobs, of course), I pivoted to working with startups. CPG startups are my absolute favorite, especially those that go out of their way to be weird and funky. I like to joke that CPG startups are my bread and butter (sometimes literally!). As a certified Chief of Staff, I'm obsessed with learning new things and taking all kinds of tasks off of founders' plates from operations to marketing to supply chain to sales to customer service. My scrappiness knows no bounds!

I am a strategic startup operator that rocket fuels your company. Being a 2x entrepreneur, I enjoy building creative + sustainable solutions for maximum impact. I began my career building a bootstrapped fine jewelry company from the group up. Since then I have closely partnered with mission-driven founders to help bring their vision to life. I have 10+ years of experience building successful businesses in various industries from fashion to tech.

Driven by curiosity and growth, I’m a collaborator, connector, and problem solver with an eye for the big picture and constant desire to better understand the “why” for everything. I consider myself a joyful generalist and take pride in my ability to learn new skills and adapt to challenging situations. My background is in cyber security R&D, where I’ve spent the last ten years working in various roles across research, engineering, and product teams, focused on finding new and creative ways to level up teams and products. I am a systems thinker and believe strongly in the importance of creating organizations and systems that respect and nurture the humans interwoven within them.
