DeLynne Ano is the Founder of Runli, a business workflow automation app that simplifies business back-office workflows by automating the hand-off between employees and departments, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the margin of error. DeLynne has over 25 years of executive experience with Fortune 100 companies. Her mentoring of businesses has resulted in billions of dollars of client revenue growth in dozens of industries, from food, beverage, and packaging to entertainment and media. She started her consulting business, Scape Group, Inc., in 2010 where she helped her first client grow from $750,000 annually to $24 million. The growth came as a result of instituting processes and system design.
After more than three decades of working with corporate suppliers and business owners, DeLynne has come to realize that small businesses cultivate creativity and innovation. Today, she owns and leads Playbook Makers and Runli, automated business processes that allow business owners to focus their energy working on the business, rather than in the business. The organization is a result of her passion for leveling the playing field and providing the tools needed for small businesses to play big.
