When Growth Gets Complicated,
You Don't Have to Navigate It Alone.

Growth is exciting – until processes start breaking, projects stall, communication gets messy, and leaders find themselves spending more time putting out fires than driving the business forward.

That's where I come in.

Ceridwen Business Solutions provides experienced operational leadership, project management, and strategic guidance to help organizations work smarter, execute with confidence, and scale sustainably.

Whether you need support leading a high-priority initiative, improving internal operations, evaluating new technologies, or building a stronger foundation for growth, I bring practical solutions tailored to your business – not a one-size-fits-all playbook.

My goal is simple: help you create clarity, strengthen execution, and free up your time to focus on what matters most.

How We Work Together

Some businesses are scaling faster than their operations can keep up. Others are building the operating layer for the first time. Either way, the work starts in the same place.

$5,000  ·  One month  ·  Fixed fee

Operations Sprint

A full audit of how your business runs – financial operations, systems and process, team structure, and revenue operations – ending in a prioritized, costed list of what to fix and what to fix first.

You leave with the clearest picture of your business you've ever had and a credible plan for what to do next.

The Sprint is diagnostic and roadmap only – not implementation. It tells you what's broken and what to do about it. What comes next is your call.

What we cover

  • Financial OperationsHow money moves, how you track and forecast it, and where visibility gaps are costing you.
  • Systems & ProcessWhat's documented, what lives in people's heads, and what breaks under pressure or scale.
  • Team & OrgWho owns what, where handoffs fail, and whether your structure matches where you're going.
  • Revenue OperationsPipeline, conversion, fulfillment, and the handoffs that quietly leak revenue every month.

The Sprint tells you what's broken. The Retainer is how you fix it.

Scope-dependent  ·  Monthly engagement

Fractional COO Retainer

Ongoing operating leadership embedded in your business – setting weekly priorities, running the operating system, and managing the process and people work that keeps everything moving. Some clients come directly out of a Sprint. Others already know what's broken and need a partner to execute.

This is not advisory work. It's hands-on operating leadership, scoped to what your business needs right now.

Pricing depends on scope. We'll sort that out on the call.

About Beth

Grounded in 15 Years
of Doing the Work.

I'm Beth Kukla – business strategist, operations leader, PMP-certified project manager, chief officer, and founder.

I founded Ceridwen Business Solutions in 2014 after spending more than a decade leading operations, managing cross-functional teams, and helping organizations navigate growth. Throughout my career, I've been responsible for turning strategy into execution – building systems, improving performance, and creating the operational foundations that allow businesses to scale.

As Vice President of Sales & Operations at JoyLabz / Makey Makey, I helped drive consistent year-over-year revenue growth while expanding international distribution and supporting the evolution of a niche maker product into a globally recognized STEM education brand.

From consumer products and education technology to startups and nonprofits, I've worked across organizations facing the same challenge: growth creates complexity. My work focuses on helping leaders simplify that complexity and build organizations that can grow without breaking.

Today, I also serve as President, COO, and Co-Founder of Cora Nexus AI, where we're building tools that help organizations increase conversion and revenue. That experience gives me a practical perspective on technology adoption and AI implementation – focused on business outcomes, not hype.

My approach is collaborative, hands-on, and tailored to the unique challenges of each organization. No two clients are the same – and the work reflects that.

The best outcomes happen when strategy and execution stay connected. I work alongside you – learning the business, staying in the details, and seeing things through until they're actually working.Let's talk.
