Contempo Strategy started with a simple belief: that operations shouldn’t feel like a burden. Our founder, Dahil Mercedes, saw how many brilliant business owners were stuck in the weeds — overwhelmed by systems, drowning in logistics, and constantly putting out fires. She knew there was a better way.

She created Contempo Strategy to offer business owners the kind of support she wished she had while building her own path: intentional, intelligent, and refreshingly human.

What began as one-on-one support for digital CEOs has evolved into a full-on ops studio — a small but mighty team offering business management, backend support, and strategic operations for modern businesses that are growing fast and need structure to match.

Together, we show up as your operational dream team — ready to bring clarity, consistency, and calm to your backend.

What We Believe

Less chaos, more clarity — Operations don’t have to feel overwhelming. We bring ease and flow to the backend of your business.

  • Strategy with heart — Systems matter. So do values, vision, and the people behind the work.
  • Growth that feels good — We’re here to help you scale without burning out or losing control.
  • Custom over cookie-cutter — Every business is different. We build around you.

What We Do Best

We blend business management and operations consulting with real, done-for-you implementation. That means we don’t just give you the playbook — we help you run the plays.

Our team includes Online Business Managers, Online Operations Managers, Tech VAs, Project Managers, and Fractional DOOs — ready to plug in where you need them most.

Some of our sweet spots:

  • Organizing offer suites and launch systems
  • eCommerce Suite for all your fulfillment, supply chain, and logistics
  • Setting up CRMs, ERPs, SOPs, and automations
  • Building scalable team workflows and role clarity
  • Strategic mapping for growth and capacity planning
