Nicole Hanik, Founder

 I’ve spent my career helping businesses grow from the inside out—starting in the trades industry and working my way through nearly every layer of leadership and operations. I know what it’s like to sit at the table where vision is cast—and I’ve been the one making sure that vision becomes reality.

What I love most is stepping into the day-to-day rhythm of a business and helping bring order to complexity. I’m the one who connects the dots between strategy, execution, and people—aligning departments, leading through change, and building structures that actually work.

I created Operational Edge for CEO/Owners who are ready to scale but don’t want more noise—they want someone they can trust to jump in, take ownership, and make things move. That’s what I do. I serve as a Fractional Executive Integrator, embedding myself in the leadership team to help businesses run better from the inside.

This isn’t just consulting—it’s real partnership. I care deeply about the people behind the business, and I bring a calm, focused, no-nonsense approach to helping them lead well, build strong teams, and create something that lasts.

This isn’t just a job for me—it’s my calling. Helping organizations find their edge isn’t just about efficiency or scale—it’s about people, culture, and building a business that truly works.
