The Ilza & Co. Journal

With over 20 years of experience in operations and strategic planning, I help ex-corporate entrepreneurs build businesses that run with clarity, structure, and calm.

My work blends corporate-level strategy with capacity-based planning to bring together precision and warmth, structure and space, data and intuition. The result is a way of working that actually supports the person running the business.

I don’t hand you a plan and wish you luck. I work beside you to untangle what isn’t working, design what needs to exist, and build systems that fit how you think, lead, and live.

Together, we create businesses that feel organized, sustainable, and aligned with the future you’re building without burning you out along the way.
