Our Why:

Our Why:

Where It All Began:
It all started on a wintery February day in Sedona in 2023.  Jhana made the trek from Salt Lake City to where Cameron was to discuss the fate of operations roles.  They were both sick & tired.  No, not the head cold & boogers kind of sick, but the sick of operations folks (themselves included) being minimized & left out all the time.  So they joined forces to fix it by creating the first global, online community for operations professionals to connect, blow off steam, share, grow & thrive.  And, that my friends is how The Ops Spot was born.

Who We Are:

Cameron Herold is best known for his operations roles in three well-known companies…College Pro Painters, Boyd Autobody, and most notably 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. Each experienced explosive growth due to his leadership. Operations is near & dear to Cameron’s heart as it’s part of his DNA. Cameron has coached hundreds of CEOs of real companies, has spoken on stages in 28 countries, written 6 bestselling business books, created an online course called Invest in Your Leaders, and is the founder of the first mastermind for COOs with a minimum of $5M in revenue called the COO Alliance.
 
Jhana Li, has catapulted early-stage startups to success in her role as COO or Head of Ops. She’s since taken that experience & opened up her very own Spyglass Ops Academy where she coaches hundreds of emerging Operators in the digital space. 
 
Both Cameron and Jhana have a mission to help people in Operations roles at all levels. Especially the ones who can’t afford expensive one-on-one coaching or don’t qualify for fancy masterminds yet. The Ops Spot is the place to be for Operations professionals who want to accelerate their careers without breaking the bank.

Meet Hendrix

YOUR COMMUNITY MANAGER

In February 2023, while at Chocola Tree in Sedona, Jhana and Cameron struck up a conversation with Hendrix, a tech-savvy optimist on the lookout for a meaningful role. As they shared The Ops Spot’s vision, Hendrix lit up — he too was on a mission to help operations people excel in their transformation as leaders – making this the dream role he’d been seeking.

His shared mission, enthusiasm, and a perfectly timed joke sealed the deal: Hendrix was the perfect match for our community!
