About Us

Emily Spady - Founder

Emily is the organizer and educator. She obsesses over quality and organization and is exceptionally skilled at assessing and implementing operational systems and software tools. These skills paired with her incredible patience (developed during her years spent as a teacher) make her a wiz at building and implementing processes. She can quickly help your team identify what processes tools they should be using, and can build training onboarding programs that are effective and fun.

Emily loves working closely with founders as they navigate the early stages of growth when there are no systems in place and the days never look the same. Making sure the team has what they need to get the job done, finding ways to do things better and faster, and making sure everyone is working together towards the same goals. Taking the chaos and analyzing existing workflows, identifying bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and implementing changes to streamline operations and improve productivity is one of her favorite parts of her job.
