I spent 15 years inside Fortune 500 finance teams, where every decision had an entire team behind it and enough cash buffer for most missteps. For startups, the stakes are much higher. A pricing call, a key hire, or an inventory investment can change the trajectory of the entire company, but founders have to make those calls with far less support than the stakes deserve.

Velaris closes that gap. I embed with your team as a true financial partner: in the room for the pricing call, the hiring plan, the board meeting, the raise. Not a consultant who checks in on occasion, but someone who treats your outcome like my own. I bring Fortune 500 best practice to startup speed.

I am particularly interested in supporting venture-backed female and diverse founders. I take a limited number of clients at a time, by design. When we work together, you have my attention.

Built for the founders I wish I'd been able to help sooner.

Every month without a strategy is margin left on the table.
