About Us
Our mission is to help you shift your focus from solving operational problems to growing your business.
Our Story
During her 30-year project management career in advertising, software development, and catalog production, Susan noticed one universal challenge across different industries: “Business owners are trapped in operational chaos.”
- 60+ hour weeks fixing the same problems
- Teams stuck in low productivity
- Every decision needs your call
This insight sparked Beyond the Chaos. And after helping 250+ businesses, we’ve seen real-life proof that streamlined operations drive growth. That’s why we made it our sole mission to help entrepreneurs build efficient systems so they can focus on their vision.
Our Mission
We eliminate operational chaos so you can focus on what matters most: growing your business and creating your legacy. We turn daily frustrations into smooth-running systems.
Our Vision
We exist to help small business owners escape overwhelm and build thriving businesses. When they succeed, they create more value for their families, teams, and communities – strengthening both businesses and America.

Technology, and using it effectively to kill the chaos.
My kids and I will find any reason to celebrate with ice cream or donuts.
I work with the Chaos Killers as our Director of Operations and with our clients as an Operations Director, Project Manager, and Consultant. I live in the Chicago suburbs with my two daughters. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University and a Master’s degree from Keller Graduate School of Management.
I took a break from corporate America when my first daughter was born. Now I apply my unique skill set of managing chaos in all forms to my work at BTC. In my free time, I enjoy adventures with my kids, spending time with family, and playing tennis.

Problem-solving, resourcefulness, and data analysis. I am super adaptable and I can make things work and come up with creative solutions for challenges! I thrive in environments that are dynamic and where new skills need to be learned.
I love decision-making that is based on real data and information- kind of a data nut!
Colombian born and raised, citizens of the world made! I have lived in Australia, Hawaii, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, on a sailboat, and on the go. I was a competitive swimmer for 10 years and still practice the sport. Also, I am building a clay straw home with my own hands!
