About Lindsay K.

With 15+ years of experience supporting founder-led and multi-entity organizations, I specialize in building the operational infrastructure that allows companies to scale with clarity and discipline.I am often brought into complex environments to institutionalize workflows, strengthen governance, modernize HR and reporting systems, and align cross-functional execution with executive vision. My work focuses on building durable operating frameworks across people, process, and systems — creating structure where growth has outpaced documentation.At Hawthorne Capital, I serve as a strategic Director of Business Operations, leading firm-wide operational cadence across portfolio oversight, investor communications, HR infrastructure, budgeting frameworks, and internal governance.Previously, I led cross-company operational standardization across SaaS and fintech portfolio businesses, partnering directly with CEOs on organizational design, financial oversight, and systems integration.My approach is steady, structured, and execution-focused. I believe the best operations are invisible — enabling leaders and teams to perform at their highest level without friction.Core focus areas:• Operational strategy & governance• Organizational design & HR modernization• Budgeting & financial oversight frameworks• Cross-functional alignment• Systems implementation & workflow architectureIf you’re building something meaningful and need operational infrastructure to match your ambition, I’d welcome the conversation.
