THE PERSON BEHIND CAPBERA

Founder & Organizational Consultant

I'm Lorelei, a former Big Four Consultant with experience working across different types of organizations. My background has taught me that the challenges organizations face rarely exist in isolation. Inefficient processes, unclear responsibilities, stretched teams, and competing priorities can all stand in the way of progress. Introducing AI without addressing those underlying challenges can add complexity and cost instead of solving the problem.

My approach starts with the organization, not the technology.

For smaller organizations, that often means improving operational efficiency first, then identifying where AI can deliver real value. For growing businesses, it means finding opportunities to augment existing workflows, reduce friction, and build the capacity to scale without adding unnecessary stress to already stretched teams.

I believe this work is particularly important for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. When resources are limited and the mission matters, every investment needs to count. AI should help organizations make better use of their time, talent, and budgets—not become another expensive initiative competing for attention.

My consulting background allows me to bring an organizational perspective to adopting AI, connecting the possibilities of the technology to the realities of your team, operations, and goals. You don't need a massive transformation budget or a team of AI specialists to get started. You need a thoughtful approach, a clear understanding of your needs, and a practical plan for putting the right solutions to work.
