Too much friction.
When handoffs are unclear, knowledge lives in one person’s head, and everything feels urgent, good people spend too much time working around the work. Let’s make it easier to do what matters.

Meet your operations partnerI’ve carried the work.
I’ve carried the work.
Now I help you
make it work better.
Before founding Stalder Operations & Strategy, I spent nearly five years leading a regional literacy program in Ohio and West Virginia, first as program manager and then as executive director. I managed budgets, grants, staff, partner sites, and the systems connecting them.
That experience shaped how I work: listen to the people doing the job, find what’s getting in their way, and build something useful together.
Today, I bring that practical approach to nonprofits, businesses, and corporate teams that care about their people and the impact of their work. Based in Eastern Ohio, working with organizations anywhere.

A straightforward way forwardClear from
Clear from
the first conversation.
You don’t need a polished brief or a perfect diagnosis. Start with what’s hard. We’ll work out the next step together.
We talk.
A free 30-minute call to understand your team, what’s getting stuck, and whether I can help.
We scope it.
A clear proposal with the work, deliverables, timeline, and cost. You decide whether to move forward.
We build together.
Hands-on work with your team so the solution fits the people who will use it.
Your team owns it.
Documentation, training, and a thoughtful handoff so progress can continue.
Do you work with corporate teams?
Yes. I work with nonprofits, businesses, and corporate teams when our values align. The common thread is a team that cares about its people, its purpose, and making the work run better.
Do I need to know exactly what needs fixing?
No. Bring the recurring frustrations, the project that keeps slipping, or the work your team struggles to share. An operational audit can help clarify what to address first.
Will we need to buy new software?
My starting point is the software and tools your team already uses. We’ll look at the process first and discuss any tool changes together.
How much does an engagement cost?
Pricing depends on the scope and level of support. After our initial call, I’ll put the deliverables, timeline, and cost in a proposal so you can make an informed decision before work begins.
What happens during the discovery call?
We’ll spend 30 minutes talking about your organization, what’s taking too much effort, and the support you’re looking for. No preparation is required. We’ll decide whether there’s a useful next step.
Can we work together if we’re outside Ohio?
Yes. I’m based in Eastern Ohio and work with organizations anywhere. We’ll discuss how we’ll collaborate when we scope your engagement.
