About Tina Greenlee
I've spent 20 years inside systems that looked fine - until the strain showed.
❖ The kind where progress depends on a few people compensating
❖ Where knowledge lives in heads instead of structures
❖ Where leaders carry more than the system should require
How I Got Here
I didn't start out designing stability. I started out inside instability.
I've worked in military operations, government organizations, and high-growth startups - environments where systems technically worked, but only because someone was compensating.
Critical knowledge lived in one person's head. Leaders carried more than the system should require.
Everything looked fine from the outside - until it wasn't.
I watched leaders burn out holding systems together. I saw organizations nearly collapse when a single person left.
That's when the pattern became clear: the problem wasn't effort. It was structure.
I started building systems that didn't require heroics. Systems that could hold, even when I wasn't there.
That's what I do now. I stabilize systems so they don't depend on any one person - including me.
Who I Work With
I work with leaders and organizations where:
● Growth has outpaced structure
● One or two people carry too much
● Knowledge lives in heads instead of systems
● Decisions bottleneck in familiar places
● Things technically work but rely on constant compensation
My Philosophy
Most organizations don't need another consultant. They need structural clarity so decisions don't bottleneck, knowledge doesn't live in one person's head, and progress doesn't depend on someone compensating.
Optimization before stability increases risk.
Automation before readiness creates fragility.
I work best with leaders who want systems that function without heroics and who understand that if I'm still needed to keep things running, something isn't finished.
Who I've Worked With
I've stabilized systems across government, SaaS startups, Fortune 500 firms, executive coaching practices, and multi-million dollar service businesses.
The work looks different depending on the organization but the pattern is the same:
Government contractor: CEO was the only person who could price projects → Built a pricing methodology & a decision framework; now the team quotes confidently
Leadership team: Meeting 12 hours/week but still missing deadlines → Redesigned decision structure; meetings dropped to 4 hours with faster execution
Founder-led business: System collapsed every time they took vacation → Mapped dependencies and transferred critical knowledge; now the business runs without them
If you're sensing strain in a system that technically works, you're not alone.
