Welcome back to MOMpreneur Success Podcast Today Emma Ferrick joins us

Emma is an Operations and Systems Strategist. she works with visionary CEOs who

are serious about scaling their business in efficient and sustainable ways through my SIMPLE Ops Framework to ensure they have the time and financial freedom they wanted when starting their businesses.

Before helping clients find freedom and flexibility in their business, Emma graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Operations Management with a Yellow Belt in Lean Six Sigma which led her to work full time as a Project Scheduler. She started her business to build a better life for herself and her daughter shortly after becoming a single mother from domestic abuse. Because of her background and limited time to work on her business she built her business with automation and efficiency from day one to help me live my life to the fullest.

Now Emma helps women find freedom and flexibility by creating systems and processes that support the life they want to live without burnout or overwhelm.
