About Holly
I’ve spent my career figuring things out.
My career has taken me from investment banking to luxury car sales, technology support, event management, and hands-on client service.
The common thread
Understand what needs to be done, find the best way to do it, and make sure it gets done well.
I began my career in corporate finance and eventually became a Managing Director at a small investment bank, working with technology companies and clients around the world. Along the way, I managed complex projects, negotiated transactions, organized major events, worked with business owners and executives, and learned how to stay calm when there are a lot of moving parts.
Later, my interest in technology led me to start helping people with their Macs, iPhones, iPads, and home technology. Much of that business grew through referrals. I discovered that I particularly enjoy taking something that feels complicated or frustrating to someone else and making it manageable.
My experience has been unusually varied, and today that’s one of my greatest strengths. I’m comfortable researching something I don’t know, learning new technology, organizing a complicated project, dealing with people, or simply taking care of the details that someone else doesn’t have time to handle.
“I figure things out.”
