Hey, I'm Emilly
I didn't set out to build an operations business. I set out to solve a problem I kept seeing everywhere.
I started my career the traditional way: business school, an MBA, operations roles inside larger companies. Those environments ran on structure. Everything had a system. Every process had a home.
The business didn't fall apart when someone took a day off.
When I transitioned into working with small business founders, the contrast hit me hard. These were talented, driven people building amazing businesses but behind the scenes? Everything was held together with duct tape, guesswork, and sheer founder effort.
I saw the same story over and over: brilliant people stuck doing the same tasks every week. No workflows. No clarity. Too many tools. Everything reactive. Everything depending on them.
So I built WhiteBoston to fix that.
The Operations Reset Framework helps overwhelmed founders extract themselves from daily operations so their businesses can finally run without them. Not with complexity. Not with more tools. Just clarity and structure that actually works.
