Are you overwhelmed? Crushed by an inhumane inbox and packed schedule? Mired in internal politics? Discover what it's like to regain control, prioritize, and lead more effectively without burning out. Lucia provides the executive support you need when you’re too deep in the trees to see the forest, and need a competent, independent resource to help unravel your messiest problems. Like Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz - you already know what to do, you just need a little help. Get out of chaos and back into empowerment.

Who We Serve

Lucia helps stabilize program infrastructure for companies in all industries, typically in less than 3-4 months. Her strategies and techniques are particularly well-suited for companies at inflection points: you just closed a financing round and the organization can't keep up, a merger or acquisition left teams misaligned and execution stalled, a critical project is behind and at risk, a leadership team has lost the thread, or you're a new executive inheriting a mess you didn't create. If one of those is you and the cost of leaving things stuck is real, let's talk. Have a different problem? Call anyway. If Lucia can't help, she knows someone who can. Her network is your network!

Testimonials

Working with Lucia Mokres has been a meaningful and valuable experience for me, as CEO of an early stage company. She has provided critical coaching, advising, and thought partnership through key challenges of growing an early-stage company — from fundraising strategy and board dynamics to big-picture vision and execution.


But what sets her apart is the way she supports me and the emotional stamina needed in this entrepreneurial journey. This job can be incredibly intense and often lonely. Lucia understands that deeply, and she brings a grounded, intuitive approach that helps me positively reframe my perspective, even in the most challenging moments.
 

I’m incredibly grateful to have her in my corner and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any founder or executive navigating the complexity of building a company.

~ Stacie McEntyre, CEO, Couplet Care, Inc.
