The judgment
is earned.
Northvane is led by founder and principal Hayley Henning — an operator who has personally run, staffed, and scaled the kinds of operations we now modernize for government.
Not theory from a slide deck — an operator's-eye view of how organizations actually run.
Hayley Henning brings 15+ years founding and running companies — designing operating models, building and leading distributed teams of 50+ employees and contractors across nine U.S. markets, owning P&L, and structuring multi-entity organizations.
The advisory judgment Northvane sells is earned: we redesign and modernize the kinds of operations our principal has personally run. This operator's-eye view is what separates Northvane's recommendations from analysts who have never owned a payroll, a hiring pipeline, or a margin.
- 15+ years founding and operating service & technology ventures
- Full-cycle company building — operations, workforce & hiring, payroll, P&L, growth/marketing
- Led distributed teams of 50+ across nine U.S. markets; multi-entity structuring
- Pairs senior operational judgment with hands-on AI-built software delivery
Northvane modernizes how government operates. We help federal agencies run better through smarter processes, stronger management, and applied AI — then build the tools that make the change real.
Operator + builder, fused.
Real experience scaling businesses, designing operating models, and managing throughput and production — not just diagramming it. We diagnose the operation, then spot exactly what to automate.
Modern AI tooling means a prototype in weeks and a production system in a quarter — not a nine-month roadmap. Advisory work leads naturally to build work, and each delivery compounds into past performance.
The operator
at the center.
Senior operational judgment, orbited by hands-on AI delivery — fused in one accountable team rather than split across slow handoffs.
Vision
To become the trusted small-business partner agencies call when they need modernization that actually ships — combining senior operational judgment with AI-accelerated delivery, at a speed and cost no incumbent can match.
