Consulting & Professional Support Services
Catbird Consulting is owned by Courtney Howard (hi!) I work one-on-one with solo small business owners to support them with strategic planning & goal prioritization, business operations analysis & improvement, and flexible general consulting engagements where I provide guidance, advice, and a sounding board.
I’ve worked in business strategy & operations for my entire career, from being one of the first employees at a music tech startup, to leading Strategy & Operations teams at Google, to owning a fine dining restaurant in my hometown of Buffalo, NY.
My career path has taken me all over the place. But these wide-ranging experiences gave me an important insight: corporations employ hundreds of people who specialize strategy & operations—the job I had at Google—but small business owners don’t have access to that type of support.
I believe that expert-level operations and strategy support shouldn’t be a luxury. So I started Catbird Consulting to help solo small business owners strengthen their businesses and plan strategically for success.
