Testimonials
Working with Stephanie has been all sorts of wonderful.
CEO, With Helen & Rise Collective
She is quite simply an extraordinary COO, strategist, sounding board… etc. I reached out to Stephanie because as my company was growing, my lack of systems and processes made for clunky and exhausting work.
Stephanie swooped in and literally put my house in order. She was quick to understand the issues, asking the right questions (with meticulous attention). She is highly strategic, focused and has an unbelievable attention to detail. She understands the belly of the business and was able to very quickly identify the most efficient systems and processes to support my line of work.
Stephanie is not only a delight to work with, she is thorough, understanding, patient and delivers the work at breakneck speed. The value creation is unparalleled.
I would suggest you run, not walk, to work with Stephanie.
As a first-time founder of a VC-backed startup, I found an invaluable partner in Stephanie as our fractional COO.
Her impact was immediate – she quickly assessed situations and provided stage-appropriate, actionable recommendations that supported me in navigating the intense pressures of scaling rapidly.
Stephanie brought an unbiased assessment of our organizational needs and put the right people in the right seats. She restructured both our team and communication patterns to dramatically improve efficiency. Most importantly, she helped me become a more effective CEO by creating alternative management processes, eliminating my energy-sucks around inefficient people management, and freeing up my time for high-value work, ultimately preventing burnout. As my right hand, she became both the glue that held our team together and a first line of defense, handling challenges before they required my intervention.
Stephanie can go deep in any department and get her hands dirty – from managing critical HR functions including hiring, firing, compensation packages, and PEO management, to stepping in as interim product manager, to canceling contracts and subscriptions to reduce expenses.
A true MVP, Stephanie functions as another me, filling in my gaps and creating an unstoppable leadership dynamic.
CEO & Founder, In-Seam
Stephanie and Flourish Advisory were an invaluable resource for our company in our most critical stages of growth.
Co-founder & CEO, Universal Hydrogen
Not only did they deliver impeccable execution, but they served as a trusted partner for me and the leadership team in terms of strategy, selecting appropriate systems, crafting processes and policies, and a myriad other things that would otherwise have fallen through the cracks. I cannot recommend Stephanie and Flourish Advisory highly enough to anyone who wants experienced C-suite caliber support on a flexible, outsourced basis.
Stephanie is truly knowledgeable and "knows her stuff."
When I was ready to smooth out my operations and grow my team, a colleague recommended Flourish Advisory and I was not disappointed! Not only did Stephanie provide great insight on our systems, she also helped me interview new candidates, resulting in a winning team that I love. If you need someone to help you take a good look at your systems/operations, or even if you just need a sounding board (I did!) I encourage you to partner with Stephanie and the Flourish Advisory team.
Lead Coach & Founder at Say Life! Personal Coaching & The Say Life!™ Coach Institute
Stephanie is an operations leader that truly "gets it."
Founding Executive Director, United Technologies Advanced Projects
She can grok a situation rapidly, and come up with a comprehensive and well-articulated approach to addressing the underlying business need. I've seen her excel both in a Fortune 500 company where she acted as primary biz ops translator between a skunkworks unit and the corporate parent, as well as embedded in an early-stage startup. In both situations, Stephanie's deep experience, thoughtful approach, and extensive network of talent enabled her to bring rationality to highly nuanced challenges. Stephanie is awesome!
Flourish Advisory is really good at helping start-ups establish a solid business foundation for growth.
Founder, Book to Millions
While working with Stephanie over the past year, she assisted me with setting up my systems, getting a clear picture of the business that I really wanted to be a part of and hiring the support team to take my company forward. I highly recommend working with Stephanie to any entrepreneur or start-up.
Stephanie is my coach, mentor, guide, consultant and compass.
Founder, Yolanda Christopher
I started working with Flourish Advisory when I wanted to do a whole overhaul of my business and I wasn't sure what direction to take.
Stephanie is my coach, mentor, guide, consultant and compass. I can play and experiment with less fear knowing that she is keeping me on course with my vision, mission and priorities. I went from being unsure of my direction to creating the company of my dreams. Now I’m focusing on building processes and scaling.
I am constantly telling my entrepreneur friends they need to work with Stephanie!
Stephanie is a creative and pragmatic operations expert.
