When you’re stuck in the weeds, buried in the day-to-day, or unsure what’s next, you need more than just advice—you need a trusted strategic partner and a clear plan to lead with confidence.
Through The Maven Method, my signature planning frameworks, I help founders, entrepreneurs, and small business owners define priorities, map out actionable strategies, and create sustainable growth. Whether you’re in the startup phase or scaling an established company, my approach is collaborative, judgment-free, and designed to give you both clarity and structure.
Clarity creates momentum
Emerald Maven Business Solutions was built on one belief:
I live on the coast of South Carolina with my husband, where we try to live our best salty air lives. Outside of client strategy sessions, I’m happiest when I’m beachcombing for shark teeth, exploring new restaurants in town, or planning our next adventure—whether it’s a weekend road trip or a vacation across time zones.
My favorite destination:
Zion National Park, and hiking through The Narrows.
Quirky Fun Fact:
When I’m not mapping out business strategies, I’m trying to rack up high scores and steal points in a local pinball league (yes, it’s a thing—and I love it)
Hi, I'm Amanda, a Certified and Accredited Online Business Manager (OBM) and actively completing my Director of Operations (DOO) certification, with over 15 years of experience leading SaaS product launches, complex M&A integrations, and cross-functional projects. I’ve served as an interim business leader for multiple SaaS companies and successfully led global remote teams, ensuring alignment, focus, and consistent progress across multiple time zones.
My career has spanned roles as a Project Manager, Product Manager, Business Analyst, and M&A Integrations Manager, where I learned how to take complex problems, simplify them, and build clear, actionable plans that drive results.
I know what it feels like to be buried under the details when all you want is to focus on what you do best. That’s why I created Emerald Maven—to bring order to the chaos, clarity to the big picture, and structure to the path ahead.
my philosophy
I believe business should feel human—not overwhelming.
Growth isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing the right things, in the right order, with the right support. Every business needs a roadmap that leads somewhere meaningful. Without it, you’re stuck in constant reaction mode, taking wrong turns and detours that slow your momentum.
My approach is warm but highly structured. I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and deliver organized, actionable plans that my clients describe as “exactly what I needed.” I don’t believe in cookie-cutter strategies—everything I create is bespoke, thoughtful, and designed to help you feel confident as a leader again.
Are you ...
I bring a mix of structure and soul to every engagement. I’m collaborative, curious, and relentlessly organized. I ask thoughtful questions. I don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. And I create strategic plans that feel just as empowering as they are executable.
Whether you choose my 90-Day Strategic Roadmap or the Annual Strategic Blueprint, the experience is always the same: clear, personalized, high-touch, and deeply supportive. The goal? To get you out of the weeds and into the role of confident, intentional leader.
