Tony Archuleta-Perkins, MBA, MS
Headline:
Startup growth hacker; tech savvy, change juggling expert; strategic thinker; trusted comrade and advisor; human; man for your mission.
Summary:
No one person can do it all. As invested and in control as you are of your vision, the other aspects of building and running your startup might not be under control.
I help startups, and entrepreneurs get there, manage change, cope with rapid growth, and get their products to market through consulting and interim support services. An entrepreneur and all-things-business, finance, and HR expert, my passion is helping others get the most out of their lives.
Whether it’s growing pains; juggling the fire drills; helping with your cash flow management, finance, accounting, or bookkeeping; your people ops, including HR consulting, payroll, and benefits services; planning your group/corporate or individual travel; finding your first or new workspace or property management; or networking, fundraising, or celebrating the milestones event planning—I can help drive you to startup stardom, and build your vision.
People say, “Tony, why startups?” I get why people branch out and the particular challenges a startup faces. And you know one friend in the group that everyone always goes to for advice? I’m that friend. It’s not that I can play a mean game of charades or because of my business development experience and track record (alright, maybe a little bit). When someone asks me how to make their business better, faster, or stronger, they know they’ll get honesty and the use of my superpower (easily solving complicated problems).
I’ve built a vast network in my 25+ years of experience. If I can’t be of service, I may know others who can meet your needs. Creating and fostering relationships is a cornerstone of conducting business today.
