Nana
Founder, HIGHPOINT
Strategic Operations Partner
I work with CEOs and founders at the point where vision and execution need to meet. Whether they are scaling a business that has outgrown its current structure, integrating an acquisition, or building something new with capital behind it, the work is the same. Take what is in your head and make it operational.
My background spans over 15 years across engineering, corporate strategy, and entrepreneurship. I have worked inside large multinational organizations and early-stage companies, co-founded and operated a consumer brand, and earned an Executive MBA. That range is not incidental. It is what allows me to bring structure and discipline from large organizations into the practical reality of a growing business.
I started my career in engineering, which shaped how I think. Systems, sequencing, dependencies, decision flow. That lens follows me into every engagement and it is one of the things founders tell me they value most. Not just strategic thinking but structured thinking. The ability to look at a complex situation and identify what actually matters and what order things need to happen in.
Running my own business taught me what corporate experience alone cannot. Founders operate under pressure, with real stakes and rarely complete information. My role is to be the partner who brings clarity to that environment.
I started HIGHPOINT because I saw a consistent gap. Capable, experienced leaders navigating real complexity, without senior operational support that actually fit their stage. A full-time executive hire was often premature or unaffordable, so the weight either stayed with the leader, got spread thin across a team not built to carry it, or simply did not make financial sense yet. What was missing was not talent. It was support in decision sequencing, at a level of intensity that matched where the business actually was.
I have a particular affinity for women-led businesses, having seen firsthand the added decision load many women carry that their counterparts often do not. But the work itself, and who I take on as a client, comes down to the same thing regardless: capability, complexity, and readiness for a real partnership.
