Exciting times are ahead.

I’m Emily, a certified Online Business Manager (OBM), and founder of Minerva Tree.

I work with entrepreneurs who need a long-term, reliable partner to free up their time from the day-to-day operations of their online business, so they can get back to doing what they do best.

They're looking for a trusted project and team manager that cares as much about their business as they do, so they can let go of the implementation details and know things are getting done right.

Drawing on my 2 decades of experience in high tech project management and software system implementation, I get you out of running the details of your business operations, so you can make the impact you crave.

Here's what you get when you work with me:
- Strong project management and organization. So the whole team knows what needs to be done, when.
- Systems, software and automation implementation. Efficient, repeatable, and transferable business processes and SOPs. Software that supports thse processes.
- Reliable team management. You’re no longer your team’s bottleneck. You’re freed up to work on the big picture of the business.

How I help you and your business

In a nutshell, I make sure the right things get done, at the right time, in the right way, by the right people, for your business. 
Here's what it looks like:
Project planning and execution
You want to hit a business goal: launch a new product, offer an online course, or start a membership or a podcast. I build the plan that brings that goal to reality, and then execute the plan with the right people. We high-five.
Systems and automation
Sticky notes got you started, but as your success grows, balls are getting dropped. Software can be a great hire for managing your sales pipeline, marketing funnels, and digital product fulfillment. I find the right systems for your business, and get them to play nicely. Your clients thank you.
Team management
Your business has grown to the point that too much of your time is spent chasing team members down to ensure things get done, "herding the cats". I bring organization to the chaos, taking the role of "go-to person" for the team, and setting up structure and process. Now you can breathe.

I truly appreciate the time you have put in… your hard work is really starting to pay off as we have aligned to the new schedules and have a real timeline to work with.
Intel director
Emily has some project management skill and experience that is second to none. She uses her natural curiosity and drive to organize chaos
Infusionsoft manager
Emily did a great job aligning work and helping to organize projects that before her arrival seemed rather slow and spread out. She introduced some great clarity in how we talk about work and how we track completion. She brought a big group together and got them aligned on priorities and progress.
