Makena Finger Zannini is a no-fluff business strategist and the powerhouse CEO behind two game-changing ventures: The Boutique COO, a multi-7-figure agency providing backend support to entrepreneurs, and Brick by Brick Collective, a new venture bringing operational excellence to the real estate space, along with multiple other newer ventures making her a 5x founder in all. After escaping a cult and navigating her way from a working-class upbringing to the Wharton School, Makena spent a decade excelling on Wall Street and in tech before striking out on her own.

In just eight months, she scaled her business to seven figures, with no outside funding and no safety net. Today, she works 1:1 with founders across industries to help them grow lean, values-driven businesses built on financial visibility, operational clarity, and simple, effective systems. Her talks are known for being direct, actionable, and refreshingly honest, pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to scale sustainably.
