About Adele
I don’t help businesses work harder.
I help them stop depending on the founder.
For over twenty years I worked inside complex organizations where performance could not rely on individual effort alone.
The environments were different, but the constraint was always the same:
When responsibility is unclear, progress slows and people compensate with effort.
Teams communicate more.
Leaders stay involved longer.
Processes multiply.
The system becomes heavier even when it is functioning.
I spent most of my career identifying where execution depended on the wrong person and redesigning the structure so work could continue without constant intervention.
Eventually I noticed the same pattern in growing founder-led businesses.
Not lack of skill.
Not lack of commitment.
A structure that never evolved as complexity increased.
The founder quietly becomes the operating system.
Everything still works, but it requires attention to keep working.
What I repeatedly observed
Across organizations and industries, operational strain rarely came from people or motivation.
It came from decisions living in the wrong place.
When decisions concentrate:
Work waits
People check
Leaders monitor
Effort increases
When decisions are correctly placed:
Work continues
Questions decrease
Supervision becomes optional
Capacity returns
The difference is structural, not behavioral.
Why I now work with founders
In large organizations, structure eventually gets redesigned because it has to.
In founder-led businesses, the strain is absorbed instead.
The business succeeds externally while becoming heavier internally.
I work with founders who want growth without accumulating that weight.
Not by adding systems or productivity practices, but by restoring clarity to how the business actually runs.
How I approach the work
I observe how decisions move, locate the few points where progress depends on you, and redesign those points so execution holds without supervision.
The result is usually quieter than expected.
Fewer interruptions
More predictable days
Confidence stepping away
Not because the business shrinks, but because it no longer relies on constant attention.
