Build a dream team.

Build your future.

READY TO GROW BUT HESITATING TO HIRE?

Design a high-impact team and culture that scales your business sustainably — so you can focus on what matters most.

imagine hiring your first person,

and trusting them right away.

YOUR BUSINESS IS LIKE YOUR BABY.

Letting someone new take care of it is one of the toughest decisions you’ve made so far. But you know you’re ready because you’ve found yourself holding back on your next launch or opportunity, not imagining how you’ll continue to do everything yourself.

You’ll get more done through empowerment than control.

Hiring's only the first part: delegation, leadership, and rescoping your own role are just as important. A leader who empowers people gets more done, better, than one who holds tight to every detail. We master the art of letting go strategically, so you can free up the mental space and time you really need to get your business to the next level.

MOST FOUNDERS HIRE THE WRONG PERSON FIRST.

But you don't have to be one of them. Let’s be real: hiring is an investment, and you want to get it right. You don’t want to spend all this time and money and end up firing someone. But most founders don’t get access to this level of support and mentorship until much later in their business’s lifecycle — after issues arise. With the right guidance, you can master hiring, founder-leadership, and create a whole new CEO paradigm, all in one program. We get it done for the long run.

Nice to meet you!

I’m Jess.

AND I'M OBSESSED WITH CREATING INCREDIBLE TEAM CULTURES.

Think how confident you’ll be with a Chief People Officer in your pocket, way before most people get access to one.

For 17 years, I’ve been helping founder-led businesses like yours build scalable teams, brand-new functions, and sustainable, healthy cultures. 

I’ve worked with everyone from 2-person to 1000+ -person teams, from scrappy startups to global organizations – designing roles, structures, and strategies that unlock growth while keeping values at the heart of the business.

Here’s what I know about entrepreneurial businesses: every hire reshapes your culture, and every role has to do more than just “check boxes.” Hiring needs to free you up to create, and if it doesn’t, you don’t have the right team in place. It’s a risk you don’t actually have to take alone.

What’s more, your own role’s always changing as your business evolves and your people grow. And founders who learn how to give themselves promotions and truly let go early on will be the most successful. They’ll be the ones with industry-leading cultures and leadership practices, setting a new standard for what “founder-led” can look and feel like.

You built an awesome business.

Now, let’s build the team structure that

frees you up to enjoy it.

You’ve grown your business with hard work and passion, but scaling it alone is burning you out. How can you find, integrate, and retain people who really “get it?”

SCALE WITH TALENT is here to help you design the "People" architecture that grows your business without requiring you at every step. It’s not just about hiring—it’s about building a sustainable foundation that lets you focus on vision, growth... and life.

TAILORED Especially FOR

SOLOPRENEUR TO CEO (0-5)

You’re ready to grow beyond a one-person operation, looking for a team (even 1 person or a strategic VA) that supports your vision so you can focus on scaling strategically instead of handling every daily task.

FROM admins
to experts (5-10)

Leading juniors, interns, or administrative assistants is so different from hiring more senior people who are experts in their roles already. They’ll still need onboarding and mentorship - but a VERY different kind!

full Functions & bigger teams
(10+)

Love your tiny founding team, and ready to build even bigger? Whether you’re expanding to 10+ or figuring out how to use funding to staff your organization fully, these early days of engineering your culture are critical.

how it works

  • We kick things off with a 2-hour Strategy Session, where we make key decisions on role scope, timing, skills, and hire type, and I'll create your first job ad and interview guide for you.

  • Prioritization requires you to get super clear on what's really important -- not just in the business, but in life. What do you need to make more space for? How will your values shape your big decisions?

  • Redesign your CEO role so you're spending the majority of your time on your highest-value contributions. Let's get you from “doing it all” to operating at your peak.

  • Map out potential growth paths for your organization, and for the role/roles you are adding. What capabilities will create growth? There's more than one way to scale.

  • We’ll create an onboarding plan tailored to your business’s unique needs—one that supports a new hire’s gradual goal-setting, culture alignment, and process integration over their first three months.

  • Setting up your team for success doesn’t end after onboarding. This session is all about delegating with trust and clarity—establishing autonomy while making it easy to measure outcomes and assess impact.

  • We’ll set up a rhythm for ongoing feedback, targeted goal-setting, and performance management. This process encourages a culture where team members know their work is valued and know exactly how they can excel.

  • Your ideas can drive incredible growth—or overwhelm your team if not managed well. We’ll establish a framework to filter, prioritize, and vet your ideas for impact and feasibility. You’ll share your vision in a way that empowers your team to bring the best ideas to life.

  • As you grow, so does the need to think big. We’ll explore futurist thinking, the phases of business growth, and transformations to expect, so you can lead confidently with an eye on sustainable, scalable success.

  • Great teams, cultures, and leaders never stop evolving. Together, we’ll build a framework to ensure your standards for hiring, culture, and leadership keep growing with your business, cementing a foundation of continual improvement and adaptability.

frequently asked questions

  • This program is perfect for founders who are ready to step out of the “doing it all” role, hone their focus, get their lives and families back, and maaaaybe let go of a little control 😉 in order to get access to more time, more money, more freedom... a bigger long-term payoff.

    You can be in any industry -- people are people.

  • No worries. We’ll start from the ground up, covering everything from creating your first job profile to building a team structure that’s as flexible as it is effective. You’ll gain confidence and clarity at every step.

  • Corporate management experience is a huge asset! But leading and building your own business FEELS personal, and most founders are surprised by that reality! Unlike established corporate structures, you’re designing roles and organizational frameworks from scratch.

    We don't waste time on theory, either. This program goes beyond typical "training" by helping you build a custom team structure, define roles aligned with your vision, and create a culture that reflects your values.

    With my 17 years of experience designing new roles and scalable functions in founder-led businesses, I’ll guide you in creating a leadership approach, team, and culture that support your growth and freedom.

  • If the thought of launching makes you feel worried about how you're going to handle the extra volume and work, and you're going it alone (or with a person who can't help) -- then SCALE WITH TALENT is definitely for you.

    This is true even if you’re only looking to bring on 1 person. AND, I would count part-timers, trusted consultants, fractional hires, and even vendors as part of your team. It’s not limited to full-timers.

    If someone is doing work on your behalf, the core skills of leadership and management transfer whether someone’s full time or not.

  • So many of my clients say this! There are a few common scenarios:

    • The role was focused on the tasks you needed done at the time, but the person couldn't do any more

    • You were hopeful the person had potential, but they weren't a fit for your / their next step of growth

    • The person showed up great in their interview, but it was different once they started

    Sometimes, it's about job design. Sometimes, it's about learning how to conduct an effective interview and interpret people's answers. Sometimes, it's about taking a longer-term view towards the capabilities you will need in the future.

    And honestly? A lot of times, it's actually about letting go. Most founders struggle with this, and that's normal! I'm here to help you diagnose and structure all of this -- you won't have to rely on learning by trial and error anymore.

  • This is a DONE-WITH-YOU hybrid coaching and consulting program, so you get both strategic guidance and practical tools. I work directly with you, hands-on, to create a system that works uniquely for your business.

  • OF COURSE!! Click HERE to grab a spot on my calendar -- feel free to book a time that works for you. In this session we'll have an informal chat to see if we're a good match for each other. Give some thought to your biggest goals and challenges where you feel you could use support, and we'll brainstorm on them. Can't wait to meet you!
