OPTIMIZATION DESIGN CONSULTANT

Hi - i’m Jessica

I founded The OptEx in 2023 after 15 years in executive-level leadership supporting CEOs and Visionaries of growth companies to realize their full potential. It is my passion and privilege to bring these curated solutions to you.

I appreciate the challenges and intricacies involved in supporting high-level individuals, and I am adept at streamlining operations, managing priorities (and pivoting on a dime) to ensure seamless collaboration. I have an entrepreneurial spirit with a business acumen and passionate about being of service to others.

My superpower is being able to quiet the noise and give you more time in your day to focus on what really matters. By doing what I do best, I create an environment where leaders can focus on what they do best - unleashing their creativity and driving their goals forward.

My commitment to excellence, combined with my unwavering dedication to confidentiality, reliability and consistency, allows me to become an invaluable extension of your operation.

I look forward to hearing more about your vision and how we can achieve success, together.
