Hey, I'm Jade.
I'm a Swiss Army Knife, using my skills in strategy, design, and tech to quickly understand a business from the inside out, then streamline and scale it. We'd be good together if you have a solid customer base, you're growing rapidly, and the scrappy systems that worked in the beginning are starting to break down.
I'd be especially interested if you're a mission-based startup in urban innovation, sustainable energy, or anything else that invests in the future.
Reach out! I'd love to hear from you.
I don’t just solve problems at the local scale—I deconstruct them into their fundamental elements. By breaking down challenges to their core, I can recognize patterns and connections that aren't obvious at first glance, and see how different pieces fit into a larger system. I've tried a little of everything, and I apply principles from those wildly different domains to every project I work on. By understanding how each piece fits into the larger system, I can build solutions that aren’t just effective—they’re enduring and scalable.
I believe in the power of purpose and profit working hand in hand. My focus is on ensuring that our work makes a positive impact while also being financially sustainable - a mission-driven company is much more effective at doing good in the world if it can reliably support itself. I care deeply about the mission, the customer, and the bottom line, ensuring that all three align.
I’m drawn to spaces where innovation isn’t just possible—it’s essential. I seek out opportunities with high potential, compelling visions. I love companies in that sweet spot when they're starting to get their footing, yet are nimble enough to adapt and morph to bring their vision to life, and haven't crystallized all the details yet. These are places of exciting possibility and uncertainty where the path forward requires bold thinking. Give me a visionary idea and I'll make it happen.
I blend pragmatic, strategic thinking with a deep appreciation for the nuances of human behavior and the power of aesthetics. I understand that how things look and feel is as critical as how they function, especially when it comes to influencing decisions and outcomes. It's not enough for a product to be good, it needs to be irresistible and feel intuitive to use. It’s about marrying practicality with beauty to create something that resonates on a human level.
It’s all about the mission. I’m focused on the impact we can create together, not on climbing the career ladder. My role is to unite people around a common purpose, without needing to be in the spotlight. The value lies in what we accomplish together. I’m here to contribute, collaborate, and create meaningful impact with humility and purpose.
Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, I have a knack for quickly understanding and untangling complex situations. I can identify the core issues amidst chaos, streamline processes, and bring order where there was none. Give me a challenge, and I’ll obsess over it until I’ve willed a solution into existence.
