I got really good at carrying the mess.
Maybe too good.
I was the person people counted on to make complicated work make sense. Big teams. Competing priorities. Tight deadlines. Too many moving pieces. Eventually I started asking a better question: Why are we carrying it this way in the first place?
That question became Unscattered.

Founder, Unscattered
I spent nearly 20 years inside complicated work.
I built most of my career in the corporate world, eventually leading at the VP level inside a Fortune 500 organization. My work sat at the intersection of strategy, operations, marketing, leadership, planning, and organizational change.
Which is a fancy way of saying...
I spent a lot of time figuring out how to get people and work moving in the same direction.
I built operating rhythms for large teams. Helped leaders make decisions when everything felt important. Created structure around complex portfolios of work. Clarified ownership. Untangled processes.
And learned, over and over again, that adding more effort rarely fixes unclear work.
“One of my professional highlights for the year was getting to know and learn from Kris.”
Good people shouldn’t have to compensate for scattered systems.
Clear work should not require constant heroics.
The right structure should make priorities easier to see, ownership easier to understand, and meaningful work easier to carry.
How Unscattered 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.
