Bhavna Kaur is a Strategic Operations Director and Principal Consultant based in Orange County, CA. She specializes in helping mission-driven organizations build the governance, workforce planning, and operational infrastructure required to scale.

I specialize in the friction between ambition and execution.

Early in my career—as a Columbia historian, D1 athlete, and author (publishing under my maiden name, Bhavna Chadalavada)—I believed that sheer force of will was the key to impact. But after a decade of managing high-stakes merger integrations and federal compliance frameworks, I learned a harder truth: Vision without infrastructure is just a hallucination.

I am an Operator who specializes in Organizational Reality.

My work is not just about keeping the lights on; it is about building the "containers" that allow bold missions to survive. Whether I am navigating federal regulations for the BLM or designing coach onboarding systems for a tech startup, my goal is the same: to protect the vision by building the high-integrity infrastructure required to sustain it.

I bridge the gap between "Strategic Intent" and "Tactical Truth."

I no longer build systems for the sake of systems. My satisfaction comes from:

• Operational Engineering: Creating workflows that reduce cognitive load and prevent burnout.

• Cultural Architecture: Using my background as a Certified Coach (PCC) to ensure that operational efficiency never comes at the cost of human resilience.

• Grounded Stewardship: Ensuring that the "Engine Room" and the "Architects" are speaking the same language.

I am looking for a mission-driven organization that is ready to get real about its growth. You bring the vision; I will build the foundation that makes it possible.
