About Me

(Or how 25 years of project meetings led me here)

I spent over two decades inside large companies leading transformation projects and navigating the real work of change. Messy priorities. Shifting org charts. Tools that either nobody used or everyone hated but had to adopt anyway.

I had that tough role that required influencing without authority. It wasn’t my initiative or project, but I was the one making it happen. I was in the thick of it every day. Sitting in meetings, finding compromises between conflicting goals, rolling out new systems, and trying to get teams aligned just as leadership changed direction again.

The upside? I learned what actually helps people move forward and what’s just noise and distraction.

Over time, I realized I loved being the person who could bring order to the chaos, clarity to the conversation, and progress to the team. But I wanted to do it in a way that felt more personal, more useful, more practical, and more fun.

That’s what led me here.

Today, I work with small business owners who are carrying too much. I help them clear the mental clutter, build systems that make sense, and create space to lead with more focus and less friction.

I love being a champion for smart people doing meaningful work, with good ideas and businesses that deserve better support.

This was my right next thing.

What’s in a name? Perago Partners

Perago (Latin, verb)

/PEAR-uh-go/

To carry through to the end

I pronounce it “PEAR-uh-go” with the emphasis on pear, like the fruit. I love a good juicy pear. Most people say “per-AH-go,” but hey, it’s Latin. Who really knows? You do you.

Partner (noun)

/ˈpärtnər/

A trusted companion in getting stuff done. Especially the hard stuff.

I added “Partners” because that’s how I work. Not as a coach shouting from the sidelines, but as someone who’s in it with you, thinking, planning, troubleshooting, and helping you make real progress.

Put it together and you get Perago Partners:

A steady hand to help you carry the right things through to the end.

Not everything at once. Not all the ideas, all the tasks, or all the pressure.

Just the next right thing, clearly defined, broken down, and done well.

That’s how you build a business that works better for you, not just because of you.
