01 · Challenge

Education and visa journeys contain many dependencies, long timelines, and high personal stakes. Headway needed a reliable operating model that could manage concurrent cases and still feel personal.

Growth also required moving from founder-led execution to a repeatable team system.

02 · My role

I founded the company, designed the service operation, managed the full client lifecycle, and scaled the team while tracking admissions, processing, and satisfaction outcomes.
