Bold Solutions, LLC
Founder & CEO | Helping Leaders Build Clarity, Culture, and Client Loyalty
Feb 2025 - Present
Who We Help
Bold Solutions partners with small to mid-sized business owners ($3M–$30M in revenue) overwhelmed by operational chaos, cultural misalignment, or stalled growth. These founders and visionaries have big ideas but are held back by inefficiencies, execution gaps, and an overburdened leadership team.
Scaling beyond founder-led operations demands structure, systems, and accountability—without sacrificing culture or client experience. Business owners don’t need another consultant; they need a trusted partner who delivers clarity, alignment, and results without the cost of a full-time executive.
The Problems We Solve
🚧 Growth Ceilings: Progress stalls without clear reasons.
🔥 Constant Fires: Founders spend more time reacting than leading.
🛑 Execution Gaps: Projects drag, decisions stall, teams lose focus.
⚖️ Overwhelm: Leaders wear too many hats, burning out.
💰 Missed Profits: Inefficiencies erode margins.
💔 Cultural Misalignment: Engagement and morale suffer.
👉 Reality: You may be the bottleneck.
✅ Solution: A partner who combines the power of EOS®, Enneagram-driven leadership development, and service strategies to unlock clarity, culture, and growth.
The Transformation We Create
🚀 From Chaos to Clarity: Teams knows their role, priorities and goals
📈 From Stagnation to Scalability: Systems and accountability frameworks drive sustainable growth without added stress.
🛠 From Overwhelm to Ownership: Founders focus on strategic leadership, not daily firefighting.
💰 From Missed Potential to Profitability: Operational efficiency boosts margins, cash flow, and long-term value.
💪 From Disconnected to Engaged Teams: Enneagram-driven insights foster stronger communication and a thriving culture.
💎 Transactional to Exceptional: Client loyalty and referrals grow as your service levels rise.
Chaos is optional. With proven frameworks and a people-focused approach, we help you build clarity, culture, and sustainable growth—so your business works for you!

Creatuity Corp.
Chief Operating Officer
Feb 2020 - Feb 2025
As COO and Integrator, I played a pivotal role in transforming Creatuity’s operations, culture, and strategic execution. Leading with clarity and focus, I implemented systems and processes that fueled growth, enhanced engagement, and optimized team performance.
⭐️ Key Achievements:
- EOS Implementation: Rolled out the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) company-wide, allowing the CEO Visionary to work "ON" the business, and built a well functioning leadership team so the co-owner could exit.
- Data-Driven Operations: Designed and implemented key metric dashboards to provide real-time insights into performance, enhancing decision-making across departments.
✅ Results:
- Employee Engagement: Elevated employee engagement to a 69% eNPS, leveraging the Gallup 12 framework.
- Retention: Achieved a dramatic 90% year-over-year reduction in employee turnover.
- Revenue Growth: Increased revenue by 23% year-over-year following the challenges of 2020.
👥 Cultural Transformation:
- Introduced a hybrid work model, utilizing Michael Hyatt's Ideal Week methodology to boost productivity and work-life balance.
- Implemented an internal training program inspired by Disney's Approach to Quality Service, establishing a company-wide Common Purpose and Four Quality Standards to deliver exceptional service consistently.
Through a balance of strategic vision and operational execution, I helped position Creatuity for scalable growth while fostering a collaborative, values-driven culture.
