Here at The Pepper Way, we treat your business like our own.

Our vision is to create freedom for founders.

We get it.

There are never enough hours in the day to cross off all of those to-dos. But what if there was someone who could help? By focusing on creating partnerships with small business owners, we help you navigate your day-to-day life - giving you more freedom to focus on what matters most. By tackling operations, special projects, and communication strategies, we bring your strategic vision to life by making your ideas executional.

What’s important to us

  • We focus on creating solutions together. We never look at just one point of view to solve the problem. We may have our tips and tricks, but the solution we propose has to work for you and how you work. We want your ideas, and we want your feedback!

  • (OK.. we stole this line from Brené Brown.) We set clear expectations from day one as we exist to help you, which requires trust. For us, that means creating a partnership from the beginning with open lines of communication, honesty, and clarity on expectations.

  • We are as passionate about your business as we are about our own. For us, that means we’ll go above and beyond to support you and your unique dreams. No matter what, we’ll stay by your side and be present even for those tough days. 

  • We help you achieve your goals by finding solutions that are simple and scalable. By looking at all the options, we’re able to find you more time to work on what matters most.

  • We’re real people with a genuine interest in what you do and why you do it. We understand the big picture, but our passion is in the details. We believe in building a partnership where we look at all the possibilities - from the big picture to the details - you know we won’t let you fail.

Hi! I’m Kelsey, Founder of The Pepper Way.

For the last 10+ years, I worked in corporate America alongside C-level executives across companies like Facebook, Bloomberg, and Sony. Whether the role was Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, or Project Manager - I’ve always loved being the girl behind the scenes. 

Basically, I’m obsessed with getting stuff done.

Whatever the challenge is, I've always loved helping people find more time to focus ON the business vs. IN the business. I enjoy diving in and looking at all the options to find the best solution to bring ideas to life. There’s a sign in my office that says “Every Wish Can Be Filled” - and as cheesy as it sounds - I believe it!

Raised in Sonoma County, I’ve lived all over - LA, and New York - but now, once again, I call Sonoma County home.

Other Tidbits:

  • The name “Pepper Way'' comes from the name of my grandma's home.

  • I’m a dog mom to two chocolate labs (aka my chocolate chunks) 

  • I love ALL things home. 

  • I live in a little 1950s cottage that I’ve spent the last few years renovating. And, even after 3 years, the project list is still longer than I’d like to admit.

Now that you’ve gotten to know a little bit about me, I’d love to get to know a bit about you. If you’re:

  • Bogged down by the day-to-day task of running a business…

  • Ready to find individualized support that seamlessly integrates into your small business…

  • Want to deepen connections with your clients…
