I got really good at carrying the mess.
Maybe too good.
If there's one thing I've learned in my career, it's that even the best plans get complicated when you add humans to the mix. 😆 (Funny how that works.)
But I've also seen what happens when people have clarity, the right support, and a shared sense of purpose.
Good people can do remarkable things together.
That's why I created The Unscattered Studio. To bring what I've learned to the small, mission-driven teams doing meaningful work, often without a whole ops department behind them.
Because I want to help good people do more good work.

Founder, Unscattered
A little about my background.
I spent nearly 20 years in corporate America, eventually becoming a Fortune 500 VP and Chief of Staff.
My work lived somewhere between strategy, operations, and people. I've led teams, built systems, and helped organizations navigate some pretty big changes.
Which is a fancy way of saying...
I helped teams figure out where they wanted to go and how to actually get there.
My sweet spot has always been connecting the big picture to the people and practical steps that make it happen.
“One of my professional highlights for the year was getting to know and learn from Kris.”
Good people can do remarkable things together.
The right structure should make priorities easier to see, ownership easier to understand, and meaningful work easier to navigate.
How The Unscattered Studio can help you:
I help you think more clearly about:
what actually matters, when everything feels important
who owns what, when responsibility gets fuzzy
what needs a system, instead of living in someone’s head
how the work moves, without everything becoming urgent
what you can realistically carry, with the capacity you actually have
I’ve had to learn a lot of this the hard way. The point of Unscattered is to make it a little easier for you and the team.
