About Me
With two decades in management consulting and a deep-rooted commitment to supporting military families, I bring a unique blend of Business Operations Consulting and Executive Assistance to the table. As a U.S. Navy Spouse for 23 years, my journey has been about transforming challenges into opportunities, both for my family and for the businesses I serve.
Experience Supporting Entrepreneurs, Veterans & Military Spouses
Rikki Winters provides business operations consulting and executive assistant support for entrepreneurs, veterans, and military spouses who need help streamlining systems, organizing workflows, and scaling their businesses. Frequent PCS moves, deployments, and the demands of military family life taught me adaptability, resilience, and the importance of portable, efficient systems, skills I now bring to every client. Whether helping a nonprofit maintain compliance during funding cycles or supporting a veteran-owned startup with project tracking, I understand the real-world pressures of balancing life and business.
My Unique Approach as a Military Spouse Consultant
My Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering provides a strong foundation in structured problem-solving and technical implementation for business systems. Combined with my lived experience navigating military transitions, this allows me to offer empathetic, flexible support that truly understands the unique challenges of portable careers and mission-driven work. I blend hands-on administrative excellence with strategic operational thinking—always tailored to your goals, whether you’re a startup needing structure or an established entity refining efficiency.
