Services

Capable hands, where you need them—flexible support for individuals, founders, and teams.

01

Project Consulting

Define scope, set timelines, and build realistic schedules. Implement lightweight management systems or dashboards, such as Asana. Run status meetings, manage risks, track execution, and keep lean teams on budget.

02

Event Management

Project led coordination informed by experience delivering two weddings, two baby showers, and several birthdays. I work backward from your budget and manage the full process, from licenses and venues to vendor contracts, schedules, and payments. I bring project management discipline rather than a traditional wedding planner approach.

03

Operations

Process improvement, SOPs, workflows, documentation, communications, and practical systems that help people and businesses work more effectively.

04

Executive Support

Complex scheduling, research, travel planning, correspondence, case management, and trusted day-to-day coordination that protects your time.

Flexible expertise

Bring in experienced project support when you need it, without committing to a permanent role before the need is clear.

Flexible pricing

Rates reflect the scope, complexity, and budget, with accessible options for individuals, early stage startups, and nonprofits.

Ways to work

02

Fast Setup

Bring in hands on expertise to organize, track, and deliver short term initiatives with momentum from the start.

03

No Long Term Overhead

Move one off goals forward without ongoing HR commitments, employee benefits, or unnecessary training costs.

Budget Led Events

Coordinate venues, licenses, contracts, vendors, schedules, and payments by working backward from your event budget.

How I work

Thoughtful planning. Confident follow-through.

Every engagement is shaped around the people involved, the outcome you need, and the realities of your time and budget. The process stays clear, practical, and flexible from start to finish.

01

Clarify the Goal

We begin with what success looks like, what matters most, and any timing, budget, or stakeholder considerations.

02

Map the Work

I turn the goal into a realistic scope, schedule, ownership plan, and clear sequence of next steps.

03

Align the Details

Before execution, we confirm priorities, decisions, communication rhythms, dependencies, and potential risks.

04

Coordinate and Deliver

I keep the work moving, manage the details, communicate proactively, and adjust the plan when circumstances change.

05

Review and Hand Off

We close remaining gaps, capture useful documentation, and make sure the outcome is clear, complete, and easy to carry forward.

About Maitri
Maitri smiling by the ocean

People centered support, backed by operational rigor.

I’m Maitri Kuppilli, a project consultant with experience at Amazon, Monash University, and the University of Melbourne. My work has spanned workforce intelligence, recruiting operations, training, process improvement, complex advising, and large scale project coordination.

At Amazon, I launched tools used by 50+ managers, led an eight week training program serving 650+ talent acquisition professionals, helped reduce onboarding time from seven weeks to three, and built clearer processes for teams working at scale. I bring that same discipline, empathy, and practical problem solving to every consulting engagement.

My international career and professional counselling background have strengthened my ability to listen closely, communicate across cultures, understand different perspectives, and keep people at the center of every process.

Beyond the work

I’m originally from India and have lived in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, San Diego, and now Seattle. I’ve travelled around the world, but New Zealand remains my favourite place.

My partner of more than ten years, our beautiful toddler, and Rumi, our goldendoodle, are my world. We love the ocean, camping, road trips, beach days, exploring Seattle’s parks and lakes, and holding our people close. We believe in living fully, which for us usually includes eating very well.
