Operations + Strategy · North County San Diego

How I help founders & CEOs clear the noise.

Vetta is operations and strategy support for founder-led wellness, creative, and hospitality brands across Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Del Mar, and greater North County San Diego. The work: turn scattered systems and team noise into one clear operating view your team can actually use.

The operator behind Vetta

Built for founders who need less noise, more clarity.

I’m Taylor, founder of Vetta. I work alongside founder-led teams to bring structure to the parts of the business that tend to get messy as growth picks up — priorities, systems, reporting, launches, vendors, and day-to-day execution.

The goal isn’t to add more process. It’s to build a calmer operating rhythm your team can actually use, and give you a clearer view of what needs attention next.

the problem

"Too much lives in your head."

Decisions, processes, vendor context, and team knowledge — scattered across memory, messages, and one-off docs. We start by getting it out of your head.

— what founders tell me first
the diagnosis

Growth gets loud when the backend is quietly breaking.

Founders usually know something feels off before the numbers prove it. The work is turning that feeling into a clear operating system.

Already know what you need?

Standalone builds for founders who don't need a full reset — book one on its own, or bundle it into a bigger engagement.

Decision Operating System

For when everything still routes through the founder.

A clear owner map, recurring decision cadence, and escalation rules — so the founder stops being the default router for every detail.

case study

The fix is not more meetings.

A growing wellness brand had priorities, owners, and next steps spread across too many places. We built a clearer operating system around workflows, handoffs, and reporting.

Questions, answered.

What does an operations consultant do for a founder-led brand?

An operations consultant organizes the backend of a growing business — workflows, SOPs, dashboards, team ownership, and reporting — so the founder spends less time chasing details and more time leading. Vetta focuses on operational visibility and decision-ready systems.

Do you work with brands outside of San Diego?

Yes. Vetta is based in San Diego and works with founder-led brands across North County — Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe — plus remote clients nationally.

What kinds of businesses do you support?

Mostly wellness, creative, hospitality, and lifestyle brands led by founders. The common thread isn't industry — it's a growing business with a backend that hasn't caught up to the growth.

How is this different from hiring a fractional COO?

Vetta engagements are project-based and focused on building the operating system — workflows, dashboards, SOPs, launch plans — rather than running daily operations long-term. The deliverable is a backend the founder and team can actually use on their own.

Where do you start with a new client?

Most engagements start with an Ops Audit — a structured look at where the backend is slowing the business down. From there I'll recommend a Vetta Reset, systems setup, reporting cleanup, or launch support, depending on what surfaces.

What does it cost, and how long does an engagement take?

Every project is scoped after the Ops Audit, since a full reset, a reporting build, and a launch sprint take different time and effort. Most engagements run 4 to 8 weeks, and pricing is quoted per project — not hourly — so you know the full number before work starts.

Do you build websites or handle SEO migrations?

Yes. Website builds and redesigns — Squarespace, Showit, or Webflow — and SEO migrations are both standalone offerings, and either can be bundled into a Vetta Reset or Business Systems engagement.

Can Vetta run point on event or launch day itself?

Yes. Event Setup & On-Site Lead covers pre-event logistics and vendor coordination, plus a day-of lead on-site — so you can be present for the event instead of running it.
