Katie Attard

Our Founder

Katie began her career in startup operations management, where she quickly rose to become Head of Operations for a fast-growing Manufacturing startup in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was in the trenches of scaling that business that she discovered her strength—helping visionary founders turn their big ideas into reality through strong operational foundations.

As she worked closely with entrepreneurs, Katie saw a common thread: Founders have bold ideas, but without the right structure and support, those ideas often lose momentum.

She came to understand that growth doesn’t happen in isolation—execution is everything. In 2021, she launched her own consultancy with one mission in mind: to be the strategic partner Founders need to scale sustainably and confidently.

Since then, Katie has worked with clients across a wide range of industries and her passion lies in building alongside creative minds, offering not just operational expertise but genuine partnership. She brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every engagement, helping businesses lay the groundwork for long-term success—because she believes that behind every great idea is a team (and system) that knows how to bring it to life.

Olivia Pinho
CEO/Owner, Amplified Social
“I began working with Katie for strategy sessions and it completely changed the way I worked and thought about my business. I immediately got more organized and clearer on what my business needed to operate efficiently. I loved the strategy sessions so much that I decided to partner with her in a 9 month engagement where she supported the operations of my business, Amplified Social. During that engagement, we created SOP's for nearly the entire business, developed a successful internal rewards program, hired a new employee, determined effective ways for success measurement, and much more!! I cannot recommend working with Katie enough, it is a complete game changer if you don't know where to start with operations, or are looking to scale.”

Real Estate Agent
“Before I found Katie, my entire real‑estate world lived in scattered iPhone notes—listings, client details, content ideas, everything. During our Strategy Sessions she guided me through building a single, streamlined workspace in Notion. Now every property, every buyer profile, and all my marketing content sit in one organized hub I can access from anywhere. Katie didn’t just give me a tool; she translated the jumble in my head into a clear, actionable system that lets me focus on serving clients instead of chasing information. If you’re drowning in disjointed processes, I can’t recommend working with Katie enough—she’ll help you breathe easy again.”

“Katie worked with us to build an organized, formula-based quoting system and introduced automations that simplified so many of our admin workflows. She helped set up Google Drive for cloud based document management and optimized our tech stack, specifically with CompanyCam. Her solutions allowed our team to stay better organized, independent, and efficient without needing constant owner oversight. If your business feels bottlenecked by outdated systems and owner dependency, Katie is the solution you’ve been looking for.”
