Testimonials

Julia has helped my company take leaps and bounds and hiring her is one of the smartest decisions I ever made as an entrepreneur.

Julia is a "Jill of all trades" and I am constantly impressed by the skills she brings to the table. She can help you with any project or pain point, from financial modeling, to technical solutions, to content strategy, and everything in between - her skill set knows no bounds.

Julia pays attention to detail, while at the same time, always keeps her eye on the greater picture of the long term goals and plans. In working together on refining our key strategies and offerings at my company, Julia has helped us take our company to the next level in a matter of weeks.

I WAS CHIEF OF STAFF at ALIBABA NORTH AMERICA,
where I led global business operations for a cross-border e-commerce and tech titan.

I BUILT THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL MODEL FOR DISNEY+,
the subscription video streaming service launched in 2019 and worked directly with the business unit CFO to create C-level decks.

I STARTED MY CAREER WITH MCKINSEY,

one of the top management consulting firms, and mastered the problem-solving framework very early on in my career.

I FOUNDED TINK KNIT,

a 501(c)3 nonprofit ethical fashion brand that financially empowers single mothers through knitting.
