SD Consulting Services
Strategic consulting by Stephanie Davern to help your business grow, adapt, and succeed
About me.
I grew up in Minnesota, where I learned early on the importance of hard work, problem solving, and treating people well. My dad owned a local business, and I spent a lot of time working alongside him in sales. I believe that experience gave me my foundation in business — learning how to connect with people and understand what they need. I was able to learn about business and being a part of helping it grow.
I stayed in MN for school and earned my degree in Engineering, which really shaped the way I think and work today. I had always loved solving problems, figuring out how things could work better, and helping people along the way. That and my foundation in engineering naturally led me through a wide range of roles from sales and marketing to executive leadership as a VP and COO.
What I enjoy most is helping small to mid-sized companies grow in a practical, sustainable way, balancing quick wins with long term goals. I enjoy stepping into situations, identifying what’s not working, connecting the dots, simplifying processes, and building strategies that actually move the business forward.
I've been able to focus on product, marketing, sales, operations, app redesign, UX optimization, and go-to-market strategy. I’m comfortable balancing both the big-picture strategy and the hands-on execution that's needed to make things happen.
Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering and finding ways to support and learn from others. I also spend a lot of time hiking and gardening. Both help me slow down, clear my head, and stay balanced. Whether I’m working with a team, solving a business challenge, or helping someone navigate a problem, I’m energized by making things better and helping people grow.
My services.
Growth & Business Optimization
Unlock business growth through comprehensive audits across product, marketing, sales, and operations. By identifying bottlenecks and key constraints, I uncover what's holding your business back. From there, I build clear, actionable roadmaps designed to scale efficiently and sustainably.
Product & UX Optimization
Improve products and digital experiences by shaping redesign strategies for apps and platforms that drive real results. Through targeted UX enhancements, I increase conversion and retention while ensuring every feature is prioritized around true product-market fit.
Marketing & Go-To-Market
Design and execute effective go-to-market strategies that drive consistent growth. By optimizing funnels, refining messaging and positioning, and aligning campaigns, I turn interest into measurable results. I also build scalable lead generation strategies to strengthen the top of the funnel and fuel long-term success.
Sales Scaling
Scale sales by designing and optimizing high-performing sales processes. From structuring CRMs and managing pipelines to implementing teams and establishing clear performance frameworks, I enable teams to operate efficiently and close more deals. I also provide training that equips sales teams to consistently perform at a higher level.
Operations & Process
Streamline and scale operations through end-to-end process mapping and continuous improvement. By aligning product, sales, and marketing teams, I ensure smoother execution across the organization. I also design scalable systems that support growth without adding unnecessary complexity.
Training & Enablement
Help teams ramp up faster and perform better through structured onboarding and training programs. By building clear playbooks and documentation, I create consistency and clarity across the organization. I also provide leadership support and coaching to strengthen decision-making and drive sustained performance.
