Systems should feel like relief, not restriction. For over a decade, I’ve played the role of "2nd in Command" for world-class speakers. Today, as the leader of Backstage Ops, I’ve evolved that experience into a high-level consultancy. I focus on the high-level strategy: auditing your team, refining your business model, and identifying the exact management systems you need to scale.

My mission is to install a "systematized mindset" within your organization. While I provide the strategic oversight and leadership, my team of expert operators and speaker strategists works alongside yours to implement the tech and train your people to own the results.

Whether I’m snowboarding through an Idaho winter or paddleboarding in the summer, I’m always thinking about how to make business flow better—so you can focus on the stage while we handle the backstage.

In true Idaho style, Kara snowboards through the winter and paddleboards through the summer. Her two furry troublemakers, Cosmo and Binx, occasionally make surprise appearances on Zoom calls—please pardon their squeaks and jingles.
