Hi, I’m Ellen!

I’ve spent over 25 years helping entrepreneurs, startups, and businesses turn big ideas into even bigger successes. As a business consultant and leadership coach, I bring a unique mix of strategic smarts, creative problem-solving, and hands-on experience to the table.

Whether it’s streamlining operations, crafting growth strategies, or tackling leadership challenges, I’m here to make the complex feel achievable—and even fun.

I founded The Funk Group because I love rolling up my sleeves and diving into the heart of a business. From helping startups launch and thrive to coaching leaders through their next big career leap, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to create lasting impact.

My goal? To help you dream bigger, work smarter, and enjoy the ride along the way.

Think of me as your business sidekick and biggest cheerleader. Whether you're looking to scale your company, lead with confidence, or simply figure out “what’s next,” I’ll bring the expertise, energy, and fresh ideas to make it happen.

Let’s do something amazing together!
