Kris Cuellar - Owner

You’re probably on this page to answer the question, “Who is Cuellar Consulting and why should I trust them with my project?”

It’s a good question for a small business owner to ask. I started this company because I genuinely like helping startups and small businesses. Running a small business is like riding a motorcycle; it’s visceral, you feel all the bumps along the way and you’re more exposed to the environment around you. It’s also a high risk, potentially high reward situation and I love being able to help owners through their journeys.

I’ve worked for two of the top three healthcare consulting firms in the U.S. helping hospitals reengineer their patient access processes so they can more efficiently obtain financial clearance for patients and be profitable.

During my time in the Peace Corps, I helped Eastern European entrepreneurs understand how to strategically build plans for their small businesses so they are based on sustainable business practices instead of a wing and a prayer.

At both Rice University and Harvard University I worked with students of all levels and degree types, including MBAs, to build their entrepreneurial mindsets and develop business ideas.

And as a co-owner of a small real estate firm, I built efficient business processes paired with a collaborative workplace culture and managed it through both good times, and lean ones. All these unique and diverse experiences give me the skills necessary to help your small business with its specific needs.

On a personal note, I’m a lifetime traveler with 65+ countries under my belt, lover of adventure, and avid hiker with my Macedonian rescue dog from the Peace Corps. You can follow our adventures here.
