Redefining Operations and Strategy Through Visionary Leadership and Foresight

"Working alongside Dr. Aria Jones was one of the most enriching professional experiences of my career. As we simultaneously supported AK Hair and Healing, I witnessed firsthand how Dr. Jones' extraordinary blend of strategic foresight, systems thinking, and leadership development acumen helped transform the organization from the inside out.

Dr. Jones didn’t just improve operations—she redefined them. Through rigorous process and expense analyses, she reduced monthly outgo by nearly 40%, significantly increasing profitability. She also implemented process improvements that led to a nearly 50% increase in monthly sales—a testament to her ability to translate insights into action.

Her development of a project and task management system radically improved the company’s operational efficiency, while her enhancements to the website and online review processes elevated both the customer experience and brand reputation. But what truly set Dr. Jones apart was her holistic approach: she led a thoughtful redesign of the company’s organizational structure, culture, and strategy—anchored in values and driven by vision.

Dr. Jones is more than a consultant or strategist—she’s a catalyst for lasting transformation. Her ability to see the big picture while drilling into the details makes her an unparalleled asset to any organization looking to grow with intention, integrity, and intelligence."

Emotionally Intelligent Project Manager Who Builds Trust Across Teams and Delivers Under Pressure

"I had the pleasure of working with Aria Jones for two years at RGA (Reinsure Group of America). During that time, Aria and I were part of a team that was responsible for creating a web application; I was one of the Software Developers and Aria was the Project Manager. This project was a high priority for RGA, so meeting deadlines, communicating with stakeholders, and ensuring that the web application met all of its goals and deliverables was extremely important. Aria has an incredible ability to handle high-pressure situations well. As a software developer, when a project manager can keep their emotions in check it makes my job much less stressful, and I am able to work much more efficiently to meet my deadlines. Aria is able to absorb the pressure that she and the project is under which helps her team not feel pressure that can lead to software deliverable having errors/bugs.

Also, Aria’s ability to effectively communicate with all of the different groups of this project was extremely impressive; software developers, managers, stakeholders, and business partners. Aria went above and beyond to understand each of the groups involved in the project; what they needed, what they expected, and what each groups’ role and responsibilities were for the project. This led to her building strong relationships with each group that generated trust from everyone involved. This is why Aria not only succeeded in this project but all the other projects that she worked on at RGA.

Finally, Aria’s positive energy and attitude are infectious. This helped everyone around her feel more confident and that resulted in a positive and productive work environment.

All of these skills and attributes that Aria possesses is why she is such a good manager and the reason people enjoy working with her. I feel very lucky that I was able to work with Aria on this two-year project because it helped make me a better developer and professional. Aria will be an excellent addition to any team."
