AI workflows, operational systems, and go-to-market for early-stage founders and operators who are done improvising.

Most early-stage companies raise money before they have structure. Founders move on instinct, teams move on assumption, and the gap between the vision and what can actually deliver it widens quietly until something breaks.
I work in that gap. Not as an agency, not as a fractional hire. As a strategic architecture practice that builds the systems, AI workflows, and clarity that let founders lead with intention and scale without breaking.
The tools are here. Most teams have them half-plugged-in and doing nothing. I connect them and build the workflows that 10x capacity without replacing people.
Structure is not bureaucracy. It is the difference between a team that scales and one that fractures under the weight of its own speed.
Good strategy is specific. It tells you exactly who to build for, what to say, and what to stop doing, without apology.
Your story is not decoration. It is the operating system behind every hire, pitch, partnership, and customer you will ever have.
Every engagement is scoped to your current state, not a templated package. Here is the architecture of what EMINENCE does.
Flagship — AI & Systems
The work most studios cannot do. I connect your tools, build the AI workflows that actually run, and design the systems underneath so your team scales capacity without scaling headcount. Claude integrations, MCP connections, automation that removes the busywork, not the people.
Operations
Scoped per project
The operational backbone that lets your team move fast without losing alignment. Project tracking, SOPs, onboarding, cross-functional handoffs.
Go-to-Market
Scoped per project
Who you are for, how to reach them, and what to say when you do. ICP, acquisition, pipeline, and the materials to support it.
Partnerships
Scoped per project
The partnership architecture that compounds. Ideal partner profiles, co-selling motions, enablement, co-marketing built for early-stage scale.
Growth
Scoped per project
Authority-building content for founders who want their audience to feel something. Positioning, engagement frameworks, brand-led growth.
For founders who want someone with them through the build, not just at the start. Advisory is month-to-month and structured around your actual pace.
Each session includes a pre-session intake, live strategic guidance, and a written summary with action items. You also get 48-hour async Slack access for quick questions between sessions.
Implementation is scoped separately as a project retainer when you are ready to move from strategy to execution. That distinction keeps advisory focused and your time protected.
I started EMINENCE because I kept watching founders with real vision and no structure to hold it. I'd lived that gap myself, more than once.
I started as a professional tarot reader. I built a six-figure pop-up for influencer marketing events with Who What Wear and Revolve, and spoke about it at Baruch College's Luxury Marketing MBA program. That was the first time I understood I could take something intangible and build a brand experience real enough for strangers to trust.
From there I moved into content and audience strategy for Taho, the wallet from Thesis, the crypto venture studio behind Fold, backed by a16z, Polychain Capital, and Draper Associates. Then I taught myself to code, because I was tired of handing my ideas to engineers and watching them come back wrong. At a boutique data consultancy, I built partnerships from the ground up with dbt, Fivetran, Snowflake, OpenAI, and Anthropic, hosted a speaker series with names across data and AI, ran workshops with Beta NYC, New York's leading civic tech nonprofit, and took on data migrations other vendors had turned down. I've also done this work in digital health, including Journey Clinical, a leading pioneer in psychedelic research.
That combination, brand instinct plus the technical fluency to build the systems myself, is what EMINENCE runs on. I build the brand, the partnerships function, and the AI infrastructure underneath both, in the same engagement.
