Doris works as a seamless extension of her clients’ teams, often serving as de facto staff. She offers long-term and short-term solutions based on client needs. Based in Los Angeles, Doris has managed projects remotely–from Israel, Europe, Singapore and Moscow; to New York, Palo Alto, Seattle and Washington, DC. In order to deliver the highest level of service and attention, she takes on only a small roster of clients at any given time, working directly with the top executive and alongside existing teams or hires, trains and supervises new staff.
Long Term Solutions
Doris can act as a part-time consultant for your organization, managing a project or a specific area or vertical of the business, working seamlessly with the top executive, managing work independently or overseeing external contractors and/or internal teams.
Short Term Solutions
Startups, small organizations, or even individuals, who may not have the budget or infrastructure to hire a full-time seasoned executive but could use a top-tier person to jump in with little to no ramp up or learning curve; or major companies and institutions that need to fill a hole with a reliable pro.
