Hi, I’m Kelsey

I built Day1 after years leading execution inside growing companies where strategy was clear, but progress kept stalling. I saw firsthand what it costs when execution drifts, and built the partner I always needed.

Day1 exists to own the work, make it happen, and leave teams stronger than we found them.

What Clients Say

  • When faced with a complete POS system failure, Day1 moved fast, worked smart, and helped us navigate a critical transition in record time. What stood out was not just the speed, but the precision and calm they brought to a high-pressure situation. They proved themselves to be a trusted partner.

    Jardin Schnurr

    CEO, The Bone & Biscuit Co.

  • Launching Talent Solutions was a strategic initiative for DHI, and it came with a level of complexity that required more than just project oversight. Day1 quickly became an extension of our team, bringing industry knowledge, project discipline, and hands-on execution that gave us confidence every step of the way. They didn't just manage tasks — they helped us align stakeholders, hold vendors accountable, and build the playbook that will guide our growth well into the future. With Day1's support, we were able to move faster, smarter, and with greater clarity than we could have on our own.

    Art Zeille

    CEO, DHI Group

  • What Day1 did for us was not only help us with best practices and putting those into place… they also found where our internal communication challenges were at the top, and enabled us with some real tactics to be able to solve them.

    Angela Alberty

    CEO & Co-Founder, myBasePay

  • Day1 brought a rare combination of staffing industry expertise and deep knowledge of how to get the most out of Bullhorn. They understood not only the technology, but also the realities of running a recruiting operation day to day. With their support, we were able to align our systems to our actual workflows, strengthen our reporting, and give both our team and leadership the clarity we needed to launch Talent Solutions with confidence.
