To hell with corporate MBA backgrounds — they produce rigid thinking and one-size-fits-all operating systems.

Your problems are your own.

Therefore, they require an organic framework unique to you. That’s what you get with me, a former researcher with a background in marine science & oceanography. (How many other COOs can say that?)

Everyone who runs a small-to-medium-sized business has the same complaint: between hiring, training, payroll, bookkeeping, customer service, operations, and putting out fires, there aren’t enough hours in the day to just… think.

·      Think creatively.

·      Think about innovation.

·      Think about scaling.

You’re in reactive mode:

·      You’re too focused on daily minutia.

·      You have too much busy work.

·      You lack organization.

You need a partner and implementor, someone to systemize your processes yesterday — so you can think today.

You’re the Visionary. I’m your Integrator.

Kate Lingoni - CEO

I am a Type-A organizational ninja who can wrangle your ideas and any chaos you’re experiencing into a structure with tasks your team can easily manage.

Yes, my background is in science, having earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Louisiana State University (LSU) -Baton Rouge. I spent ten years working in labs, facilities and research vessels in several branches of natural science, from coastal plant ecology and aquaculture to environmental science and oceanography, before taking a hiatus to raise my son.

Later, I moved into the commercial sector, founding Say What Marketing in Baton Rouge before moving to New Orleans in 2021, renaming my business BonBon Strategic, and pivoting into full-time operations.

I am a down-to-earth, no-B.S. individual. I love collaborating with creative entrepreneurs who want more out of life. I believe in personal responsibility, thoroughness, and clear communication, all of which are essential in today’s business climate. Curious if we would be a good personality fit?
