After growing my consulting biz to $25k / mo, I founded Mylance to make finding new clients easier for your Fractional Business | Follow me for consulting best practices and my journey building Mylance

I'm incredibly passionate about part-time, fractional work that pays for your life (and then some) and gives you freedom and flexibility to live the life of your dreams.

My Professional Story
After 4.5 years launching and scaling businesses at Uber, I built my independent consulting business up to $25k / month in 25 hours per week. After running my own $25k / mo consulting business post Uber, I experienced the importance of reliably finding new clients and the challenge of inconsistent revenue.

I built Mylance Scale to challenge the status quo and rethink marketing and sales for the Fractional industry.

Mylance Scale is the marketing machine that your Fractional Business needs, but you don't have time to run. So it operates daily, growing your brand, completely done for you.

Instead of dangling numbers in front of you, our approach focuses on precise and thoughtful input: comprehensive niche and positioning work, a compelling strategic content plan, then Done For You content creation and posting to establish trust and legitimacy.

Mylance Scale is for you if: 
- You’re an **experienced fractional executive** with several closed clients under your belt and a clear understanding of your positioning and value.
- You know your **ideal customer profile** but lack the time to consistently generate high-quality leads that match it.
- You prefer to focus on client work and leave the business development to experts.
- You value authentic, relationship-driven content over cookie-cutter or AI campaigns that feel inauthentic.
- You want a partner who monitors and optimizes your campaigns, so they stay effective as your business and market evolve.

Thanks for being a part of our journey!

My experience prior to Mylance:
-Managed 9 markets for Uber Rides in North Carolina
-Launched Uber Eats markets: Miami (1,003 orders in our first day) and Milan (<1,003 orders in our first day)
-Launched and managed the Carrier Operations team for Uber Freight and built to a $1B valuation in 2 years
-Management consultant for Kaiser Associates - managed 10 client portfolios from various markets such as private equity, healthcare, telecom, and property insurance

On a personal note, I love wine, golf, crypto, learning about AI, and thinking about how we probably shouldn't develop something smarter than we are.
