Most Airtable projects don't stall on configuration. They stall earlier, on questions like: Who owns this process? What counts as done? Who can approve an exception? Airtable will do what it's told. Working out what to tell it is usually the harder half.
That's where Rudd Consulting comes in. We call it business process operationalization: working out how the business actually runs, where decisions and handoffs live, and how software should support them. It's the difference between a system people use and one they quietly work around.
We're an Airtable Gold Services Partner and an Airtable Enterprise Partner of the Year, based in McLean, Virginia. We work with enterprise and Fortune 100 teams across retail, manufacturing, financial services, technology, and construction on systems whole departments depend on.
We're consultants who build. We help teams define the operating model, make the decisions, design the architecture, and build the system. Our work includes discovery and process design, enterprise Airtable architecture, implementation, integrations and automation, governance, change management, training, and ongoing support.
That increasingly includes AI-enabled workflows. We approach AI the same way we approach Airtable: as part of an operating system, not a feature looking for a use case. We look for where judgment, information, approvals, and repetitive work move through the business, then determine where AI can improve that flow without creating new governance problems.
Every workflow encodes authority somewhere. When decisions haven't been made before the build starts, they get made during it, usually by accident. Our job is to make those decisions explicit and turn them into a system that works.
The build is the receipt for the decisions.
We also plan for what happens after launch, with documentation, training, governance, managed services, and center-of-excellence support so systems can evolve without losing the operating discipline behind them.
Twenty-eight client reviews on the Airtable Services Partner Directory are currently five stars, reflecting work with teams at organizations including Cisco, Keurig Dr Pepper, TJX Companies, Foot Locker, Paramount, and Adobe.
If you're evaluating Airtable for a complex operational initiative, or your existing environment has outgrown its original design, the first conversation is usually about the operating problem, not the base. That's where we'd start.
We LOVE the quick responses and extensive knowledge they have supplied

Grow with Jen has taught us how to use Airtable more efficiently, supplied resources to help with automations, and answered any and all questions quickly. They always treat us with respect and speak so that anyone can understand what needs to be done and how it works. They have made our jobs easier and our projects flow more smoothly. We highly recommend them.
Couldn't have done it without Jen!

Jen entirely transformed my company's processes with the introduction of Airtable. My team communicates seamlessly and we run so much more efficiently than we did prior. It was an effortless transition with Jen's help and expertise. Over the past 4 years, Jen has continued to be a valuable support, always responsive, and ready to jump in to add in more automations, make changes, and troubleshoot. I can't recommend her enough.
Jen was the expert we needed to complete our project.

Our organization was new to Airtable and we needed someone who had in depth knowledge of the capabilities of Airtable. That was Jen. She has been able to tackle every problem we've thrown at her and does so with good communication and in a very efficient manner. She is great to work with and we are grateful to continue as her clients.
Jen has helped transform our business’s day-to-day operations.

Jen has helped transform our business’s day-to-day operations. Her natural way of thinking combined with her mastery of various platforms and programs has made her an indispensable partner in our company’s evolution. When we say “there has to be a better way to do this!” We can count on Jen to help plan and thoughtfully execute a more (or completely) automated solution to our problem.
Took a complicated process and creating a simple + efficient solution!

Working with Jen was an amazing experience. The way she assesses client processes by removing the overthinking. Simply put, she simplifies the processes. She helped create a solution + process(es) that took a fraction of the time that Excel would have. I recommend Grow with Jen for anyone that has complicated data sets in Excel to simplify them!
