We help small companies grow bigger

Your business
is our business

After you start up, scaling up is the next hardest thing founders have to do, period.

The approach you used to start the company often isn't enough to get you to the next stage of growth. And once you exhaust your personal referral network, growing your company often becomes a lot harder. When your forward momentum stalls, we help you get moving again. Working as your strategic advisor, we uncover what's special about your business, and channel that into a winning growth strategy to help you successfully sell, exit or grow profitably.

Your growth problems solved, on-demand

You're pretty good at the new business game. But you've got a million things on your plate. 

To scale your company to the next level, your business development process needs to work as hard as you do. That's where we come in. We help you transform your "sometimes-on" business development effort into an "always-on" growth engine to generate an annuity flow of leads and visibility for your business over time. The end result is that your business begins to grow on its own, even when you sleep.  How nice is that?

Hear from our clients

Steve Baer
Managing Partner, Code + Theory

"We worked with Heather at a time when we were ramping up our publicity efforts. As we navigated interviews with the press, credentials calls with analysts and keynote speeches on the stage, Heather helped us craft strategic company and product narratives that made our story stand out."

Stan Valencis
Founder & President, Primacy

"We just put the finishing touches on an ambitious 5-year growth plan. Heather provided doses of outside perspective and expertise that helped us recognize key gaps, tweak our strategies and strengthen our team. She clued us in to a whole new lead generation strategy that's paid big dividends for us, leading to a huge client win."

Rebecca Basi
Director of Marketing | Marketing Mag Top 30 under 30

"Heather is SO smart - I can't even count the number of times I've said this over the years. As a big-picture thinker with a 'can-do!' attitude that's contagious, Heather is a strong asset to Plastic Mobile's business development and growth initiatives."

John Zoppi
Founder & CEO, Method Engine

"Heather is one of the most phenomenal business development executives I have ever had the privilege to work with. She listens and is highly perceptive. She is an invaluable resource and we are extremely fortunate to have her as a crucial part of our corporate strategy and growth team."

Claire Graves
Managing Director, The Webby Awards

"Heather is like our American Express card—we don't leave home without her! Before we depart on our world tour each year to give our "Webby Talks" on internet trends to over 200 companies in 15 countries, our first stop is always Heather. She intuitively knows how to shape the talk so that we build an instant rapport with our audience and receive a great response. Also, she is just lovely to work with!"

Melody Adhami
President & COO, Plastic Mobile

"Since working with Heather, our revenues have quintupled, our visibility has reached new levels, and we got acquired by a top marketing company. We’ve had so much bottom-line success as a result of the frameworks and strategies she put in place and consider her an integral part of our team. If you're a fast-growing company with strategic ambitions to grow, you should hire Heather. She’s a great strategic advisor who isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves to ensure your success."
