Hi, I am Bailey.

I've spent 15+ years as a founder, operator and executive partner inside organizations going through growth and transition. Founder and CEO of Proactive Movement for 10+ years, built from scratch into a national employee wellness and engagement company. Head of Operations at EventMobi through rapid scale. COO at Point Blank Creative while headcount grew 200%. Interim Head of People & Performance at Change.org through a CEO transition. Trained as an industrial engineer. Then in adult education, mindfulness and adaptive leadership. Most consultants are strong in systems or in people. I work where they meet.

When the work needs more than me, I bring in long-time trusted partners and stay accountable for the result.

Who this work is for

I work with founders and CEOs who care about performance and the humans producing it.

Organizations
Founder-led, scale-up, and mission-driven organizations that have outgrown how they operate and are ready to invest in fixing it.
Size
Typically 25+ people. Big enough that the founder can no longer hold it all together.
Sectors
Tech, healthcare, wellbeing, education, climate and sustainability, and professional services.
