Hi, I'm Ellie — Operational Systems Strategist and founder of TruNest Pro.
I specialize in helping scaling businesses break through operational bottlenecks that limit growth. With an MBA from Mercy University and experience leading tech buildout and operations for a funded startup, managing multi-million dollar institutional budgets, and building a 10,000-member online community, I understand both the chaos of rapid growth and the discipline of systematic management.
At TruNest Pro, we believe in strategic, human-centered automation that creates a secure and efficient operational "nest" for your business to thrive. We're not here to overwhelm you with tech, we're here to build systems that quietly work in the background while you lead your vision forward.
My SmartOps Score assessment has helped hundreds of business owners identify their biggest operational breakthrough opportunities and build the systems needed to reach their next level. Whether it's optimizing lead capture workflows, streamlining customer communication systems, or automating routine tasks that drain executive bandwidth, I take a hands-on, collaborative approach that transforms operational chaos into sustainable growth engines.
Key Experience:
• MBA, Mercy University
• Multi-million dollar budget oversight & revenue operations
• 10,000+ community operations management
• Startup operations leadership & tech buildout
• Multi-platform systems integration & automation strategy

Every transformational business begins with a profound realization. TruNest Pro was born from firsthand experience with the operational ceiling that traps most scaling businesses, the point where entrepreneurial hustle starts working against sustainable growth.
Having led technical operations for a funded startup while simultaneously managing multi-million dollar institutional budgets and overseeing a 10,000+ member community, I witnessed the same pattern repeatedly: successful businesses hitting invisible barriers that prevented them from reaching their next level.
The problem wasn't lack of ambition or market opportunity. It was operational chaos masquerading as growth, disconnected systems, founder bottlenecks, manual processes consuming strategic capacity, and the overwhelming complexity that comes with scaling without systematic frameworks.
I realized that most businesses needed what I had learned to build: enterprise-grade operational systems with entrepreneurial agility. Not just tools or tactics, but comprehensive operational excellence that could scale with their growth while freeing up leadership capacity for strategic focus.
Today, TruNest Pro helps scaling businesses break through their operational ceiling using the proven SmartOps methodology, transforming operational chaos into systematic excellence that accelerates growth while reducing complexity.

Strategic Guidance for Scaling Business Leaders
If your business is generating $500K+ annually but you're spending more time managing internal chaos than focusing on growth, you likely need operational excellence consulting. Common signs include: founder bottlenecks limiting scaling velocity, disconnected departments creating revenue leakage, manual processes consuming excessive time, or feeling overwhelmed by operational complexity despite business success.
The SmartOps Score assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your operational readiness and identifies specific areas where systematic improvements can free up your time and accelerate growth.
Most consultants fall into two categories: those with startup experience who lack systematic frameworks, or those with corporate experience who don't understand entrepreneurial scaling challenges. I uniquely combine both perspectives, having led technical operations for a funded startup while also managing multi-million dollar institutional budgets and 10,000+ person community operations.
This dual experience enables me to design enterprise-grade operational systems that maintain entrepreneurial agility and speed, giving you institutional reliability without corporate bureaucracy.
Most clients experience measurable improvements within 30-60 days of implementation. Typical results include freeing up 15+ hours per week of founder time, improving team efficiency by 40%, and reducing operational bottlenecks that were limiting growth velocity.
The SmartOps methodology is designed for rapid implementation with immediate impact, while building systematic frameworks that continue delivering value as your business scales.
Operational excellence principles are universal across industries. Whether you're in professional services, SaaS, e-commerce, or consulting, the fundamental challenges of scaling operations remain consistent: founder bottlenecks, departmental silos, manual processes, and systematic inefficiencies.
My experience spans startup technology, institutional management, and community operations, providing frameworks that work across business models because they address fundamental scaling challenges rather than industry-specific tactics.
I follow the proven SmartOps methodology: Assess (comprehensive operational readiness evaluation), Design (custom revenue operations architecture), Implement (systematic rollout with training and support), Optimize (continuous improvement and refinement), and Scale (growth-ready systems that expand with you).
This systematic approach ensures both strategic alignment and practical execution, with clear milestones and measurable outcomes throughout the engagement.
All implementations are designed for operational continuity. We build new systems alongside existing operations, ensuring smooth transitions without business disruption. My experience managing live operations means I understand the critical importance of maintaining business performance during improvements.
The phased implementation approach allows you to validate improvements before full deployment, minimizing risk while maximizing operational enhancement.
Yes, I offer strategic consulting retainers for ongoing operational excellence and continuous improvement. Many clients find that ongoing strategic guidance ensures sustained performance and helps navigate new operational challenges as they continue scaling.
Retainer options range from monthly strategic sessions to comprehensive ongoing partnership, depending on your needs and growth trajectory.
Systems that simplify. Growth that feels good.
