Strategic planning & operations
consulting for solo small business owners
Your days are full—serving your customers, figuring out sales and marketing, managing your finances, and everything else a solo business owner needs to stay on top of.
And as time goes on, everything’s getting more complex, decisions are harder to make, and you have less time for the parts of your business you love the most.
Sound familiar? I can help.
Hi! I’m Courtney, owner of Catbird Consulting.
I’ve worked in business strategy & operations for my entire career—from being one of the first employees at a music tech startup, to leading Strategy & Operations teams at Google, to owning a restaurant in my hometown of Buffalo, NY.
My career path has taken me all over the place. But these wide-ranging experiences gave me an important insight—corporations employ hundreds of people who specialize in efficient operations and strategic planning (the job I had at Google) but small business owners often don’t have access to that type of support.
I believe that expert-level operations and strategy support shouldn’t be a luxury. So I started Catbird Consulting to help small business owners strengthen their businesses and plan strategically for success.
