Heather O'Donnell | Strategic Operations & Executive Advisory

Hi, I'm Heather O'Donnell.

As Founder of Elevate & Align Co., I work alongside founders, CEOs, and leadership teams to help them navigate growth, make better decisions, and turn strategy into action. To elevate means raising the bar, sharpening how the business operates so it can command its market. To align means syncing people, processes, and priorities so growth creates leverage and momentum.

I serve as a strategic advisor, an executive partner, and a steady guide for the leaders I work with. I come in to design the structure that lets you scale what's already working, to amplify what your team is doing right, and to do the actual work of evolving how the business runs.

I step in where most leaders feel stuck:

Turning strategy into clear priorities and action.

Untangling messy operations and outdated systems.

Aligning teams around shared goals and accountability.

I blend executive-level strategy with hands-on leadership. I've worked across solar, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and cultural institutions. Different industries bring different challenges, but the underlying work is often the same: helping leaders make better decisions, bring their teams together, and move the business forward.

What Makes Me Different

People-First → Teams follow the plan because they believe in it.
Proven Across Industries → From construction sites to med spas — I adapt fast.

Strategic Energy Management → I design operations that sustain momentum — without burning people out.
Calm in Complexity → I turn chaos into clarity.
Steady When the Stakes Are Highest → I hold the plan and hold the line, especially when the work gets hard. Companies move forward with confidence on my watch.
Boutique by Design →I stay personally involved in every engagement, bringing the attention, judgment, and steady presence the work actually requires.
