Hi, I'm Crista Grasso, Founder of Strategic Ops Institute

I am a scaling strategist and operations alchemist and and creator of the Lean Scaling System™.

With over 3 decades of experience in strategy and operations, I have supported thousands of businesses to scale more sustainably, profitably, and with less complexity.

I'm known for helping founders get out of the day-to-day operations and for helping experienced operators become the strategic partner every founder wants and every small to mid-sized business needs.

I have built multiple 7-figure businesses of my own and has spent decades advising fast-growing small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike.

What People Say About Working with Crista

"Crista helped me see what the roadmap was and the things I could cut out. I now take Fridays off. I stop work at 5pm.

I realized how much I don’t need to be doing.

I also now have a team around me, so I can spend time in my zone of genius and not my zone of competence.”

"If you want to grow your business in a sustained systematic way, and not burn yourself out, we highly recommend Crista. We grew our revenue over 60%.”

"I had absolutely no idea how complicated I made my business, how I wasn’t using certain resources effectively, how much time I was spending on activities and things that really weren’t lending themselves well to my bottom line.

I’ve had so many light bulb moments, it’s absolutely floored me."

“The Certification framework brought clarity and structure to my consulting practice. I was able to help a client pay off $400,000 in debt in just five months.

The community support and mentorship were invaluable. This program has truly transformed the way I work.”

Jeni B. Elliott
Strategy + Operations Strategist

"Crista helped me take all the noise in my business and distill it down, figure out my priorities, and chart out a strategy that enables me to focus on what's important."

“It’s the first time I’ve really felt like I can get ahead. The planning rhythm is giving me breathing room I haven’t had before.

This approach is helping me build sustainable systems that support long-term growth.”

Kelly O'Hara
San Diego Whale Watch

"We knew that there was a lot of growth ahead of us but we were having trouble getting there. If you want to save time, grow your team, build systems that work, and continue to work at a bigger level, that’s what you are going to get.
