Businesses are a lot like formulas.
My time in the lab taught me to be creative and follow the formula at the same time. I use both now, helping small businesses navigate growth in real time.
My career started in chemistry, which led me into product development and formulation, where I learned that changing one ingredient can affect everything around it.
Years later, working inside growing businesses, I realized operations work much the same way. People. Process. Systems. Communication. Accountability. When one changes, the others feel it.
I spent years solving those problems from inside the work, while clients needed answers, teams were stretched, and the business still had to keep moving.
That became the foundation for Fortalyst.
No corporate playbook. No unnecessary complexity. Just thoughtful, hands-on work built around the business you actually have.
Fortalyst succeeds when your business becomes stronger without needing us. The goal is not to stay forever. The goal is to help build something that works after we leave.
