NYC native, girl mom, Operations Advisor, and expert at betting on myself and YOU — again and again.
Between school drop-offs and client calls, I've built the kind of career they say isn't possible: Scaled and sold my own 7-figure, multi-location business, served over 1400 clients, worked within portfolio operations at The Blackstone Group, and helped CEO's close billion-dollar deals. (All while maintaining my chai addiction and never missing a school play.)
Plot twist: Beating cancer during the pandemic taught me the ultimate lesson in building operations that could run without me.
Some say you can't scale quality. I say they haven't met the right operations strategist yet."
Through my consultancy, I now help other growth-stage service entrepreneurs with brick and mortar locations ($1-3M rev), how turn brilliant chaos into operational elegance. Because making your magic repeatable shouldn't mean losing what makes you special.
But here's what really matters: I know how to take what makes you brilliant and make it scalable. Because growing your business shouldn't mean shrinking your standards.

THEY SAID IT BETTER THAN WE COULD
"We went from drowning in location #2 to confidently opening #4."
Yliana provided us with a financial roadmap that was aligned with our budget and earnings.
"Was about to give up on expanding. So glad I didn't. This changed everything for us"
The audit uncover operational gaps that I had no idea even existed.
"I never write reviews but
had to for this. Total gamechanger for my med spa."
We finally updated our booking and client CRM to a software that reflects the vision of our business.
“She negotiated our 5-year lease at a 20% reduction.”
I would've overpaid by the tune of over $100,000 had Yliana not caught certain lease clauses.
