Who is Yindy
20+ Years of Executive Operations Leadership in Construction & Growth-Stage Companies
I’m Yindy Felkins, Founder of Hard Hat Business Coaching and a Fractional COO and Operating Advisor to founder-led companies ready to scale profitably and build enterprise value.
Over the past 20 years in the construction industry, I operated at the executive level inside a $120M organization, helping grow the business from $60M to $120M while leading multi-functional teams of more than 300 employees.
I’ve experienced firsthand what breaks as companies scale — from people and systems to structure, accountability, and execution. I’ve navigated the operational complexity of rapid growth and built the leadership frameworks required to support it.
Today, I partner with business owners to transform founder-dependent operations into scalable, leadership-driven organizations. My work focuses on building the systems, organizational structure, and execution rhythm that enable sustainable growth, stronger profitability, and exit readiness.
This isn’t theory or generic coaching — it’s real-world operational leadership applied in a fractional and advisory capacity.
I’m also the author of Master of Delegation: Build a Self-Managing Team in 90 Days, where I share the frameworks behind building scalable teams and organizations.
