About Devon

Startup instincts.
Hypergrowth experience.
Enterprise discipline.

I've operated across all three and know exactly what to borrow from each for the stage you're actually in.

I've spent 15+ years inside some of the most demanding, high-growth companies in tech building the operational infrastructure that lets teams move fast without breaking.

Now I work with founders at the inflection point: when things are working, but the cracks are starting to show.

I'm not a consultant who shows up with a deck. I'm a strategic right hand who helps you build the systems, clarity, and momentum to scale with intention.

It's an ongoing partnership built for the long haul.

Project Consulting
$200 / hour  ·  10hr minimum

A focused engagement for a specific, defined challenge. Scoped, outcome-driven, and efficient. The right fit when you need senior expertise for a particular problem without a long-term commitment. Common projects include operational audits, planning process design, hiring sprints, team structure reviews, and systems implementation.

The Method

How I work

Understand the system

Before recommending anything, I get inside your operation: how decisions get made, where things slow down, what's working in spite of the chaos. Context first, always.

Build with intention

I design systems that fit the stage you're actually at, not the company you'll be in three years. Simple, durable, and built to evolve with you.

Make it stick

The best frameworks are useless if no one follows them. I work alongside your team to make new ways of working land, and stick.

Fit

This is for you if…

Let's Talk

Ready when you are.

I take on a limited number of retainer clients at a time so I can make sure to show up as the partner you need. If the timing is right, let's find out if we're a fit.
