I can help you get out of the weeds.

I’m Alise — a fractional operations consultant who helps small businesses and creators get organized. I build the systems and manage the relationships so you can focus on the work you love.

Let's Talk

How Can I Help?

No matter how we work together, I want to level up the work you are already doing. I’ll help you streamline your processes, stop dropping the ball, and create the stability needed for healthy growth.

  • See exactly what’s slowing you down. A clear-eyed review of your tools, workflows, and bottlenecks. I leave you with a prioritized plan you can actually act on; or, better yet, I can do the hands-on setup and leave you with a functioning system instead of a to-do list.

  • An operations partner, without the full-time hire. Think of me as an external COO. Ongoing support that keeps projects moving, content publishing, systems humming, and your plate clear so you can actually stay focused on the work you wanted to do in the first place.

  • An engagement built around a specific project  (think: moving community subscription platforms) or a specific team need (think: covering operations while your regular person is on leave).

  • Want to talk operations? Substack strategy? Online community curation? Content calendars? Something else? Let’s talk.

  • "As a creative business owner, I'm always asking myself how to keep the main thing the main thing. Alise is the partner who makes that possible. She keeps the business side healthy and growing so creators can create. She's consistent, organized, and honest, and she builds systems that will endure as the business grows. Hiring Alise is like hiring a Swiss army knife: she can handle almost any job with precision and skill. "

    —Beth Silvers, Pantsuit Politics

  • "I have had the pleasure of working with Alise the last few months via her work with our non-profit, Equalize Startups, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceptionally organized and consistently stays several steps ahead, anticipating what our team will need before we even realize it ourselves. Her proactive approach keeps projects moving smoothly, and her attention to detail gives everyone confidence that nothing will fall through the cracks. Beyond her outstanding organizational skills, she is simply a joy to work with. She is a thoughtful and effective communicator, produces consistently excellent work, and approaches every interaction with professionalism and a positive attitude. In just the few months we have worked with her, she has become a trusted member of our team. Any organization would be fortunate to have someone with her dedication, foresight, and commitment to excellence.

    —Kirsten Leute, Equalize Startups

  • "I was recommended Alise’s services to launch a new brand on Substack and reached out last minute for support. Alise delivered a strategy for our team that really helped us feel more prepared working on a new platform and be able to hit the ground running at launch. Working with her was a treat!"

    —Kendra Pittman, Mission Creative Productions

  • “Working with Alise Napp has been transformative for Equalize. She has an exceptional ability to quickly understand an organization's needs and proactively take the right actions before they ever become urgent. Rather than waiting for direction, she anticipates challenges, develops solutions, and keeps everything moving forward seamlessly. What sets her apart is her instinct for knowing when to engage key stakeholders and when to simply take work off their plates. She is incredibly dependable, organized, and a true self-starter. Her flexibility and collaborative approach make her a pleasure to work with, even during the busiest and most demanding periods. During the final two months of our accelerator program—historically our most intense time of year—she made the process easier than it had ever been. She not only saved me an enormous amount of time but also ensured we finished the program organized and well-positioned for the following year. Her strategic thinking, operational excellence, and ability to execute with minimal oversight had an immediate and lasting impact on our organization. I would recommend her without hesitation to any organization looking for a trusted partner who can strengthen operations, improve execution, and help leaders focus on what matters most.”

    —Nichole Mercier, Co-Founder, Equalize Startups

  • "Alise is, quite simply, a wizard. I have always been a highly productive person, but when the responsibilities of work, parenting, and family became more than I could keep track of using my old strategies, I found myself missing deadlines, feeling constantly behind, and not doing my best work. Alise helped me prioritize and systematize my tasks so I could focus on my highest priority work. She also helped me clarify my priorities so that I could say yes to the right opportunities and skip the things that weren't important. I cannot express the lightness and relief I feel when I sit down to work now; it's night and day compared to what it was before. I would recommend Alise to anyone who wants to get more out of their day and wants to turn their "to-do" list into a "to-done" list."

Why Choose Me?

You’re here because you don’t need a full-time hire, but you do need help keeping everything running smoothly. If your operation has outgrown the to-do list you’re keeping in your head and things feel scattered, you need someone who can step back, see the whole picture, and build sustainable systems to keep things steady as you grow.

That’s where I come in.

I’ve been doing operations and project management work for nearly two decades. I’ve worked in higher education, consulting, and podcasting. In each of those realms, I helped creative leaders turn their vision into reality by building practical, efficient workflows. I’m a force multiplier with a calm, organized approach that is tailored to how you actually work, not how you wish you did.
