Hi there!
I'm Lori Fine, Founder of Innovative OBM.
I’m an enthusiastic problem-solver who thrives on tackling challenges with a smile and a can-do attitude.
I love designing
well-run systems while keeping the process enjoyable and fun. Let’s turn your big goals into reality together!
Solutions-Oriented with an Innovative Approach to Success
Imagine you're at a casual potluck dinner, served buffet-style. I’m that friend who can’t resist compulsively rearranging the dishes, cutlery, and drinks to maximize the flow of people and make the serving line as efficient as possible. Everywhere I go, I see systems—or the lack thereof—and I feel an irresistible urge to optimize them. One of my core values is to leave every place and business better than I found it.
​​With over 25 years of experience in strategic planning, operations management, and process optimization, I’ve honed my ability to streamline and elevate businesses to new heights. As an educator and accredited Online Business Manager (OBM), I bring formal training in e-learning, facilitation, team management, automation, and design. I excel in course creation, training materials, and aligning systems with strategic goals to deliver meaningful results. My background as an instructional coach has equipped me to actively listen and provide personalized guidance to leaders, crafting tailored strategies that meet each client’s unique needs.
I tackle challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset, empowering clients to implement proactive strategies for success. I’m not just your strategic partner—I’m your cheerleader, keeping you focused and accountable as you achieve your goals. No matter how hectic things get, I’ve mastered the art of keeping everything on course, ensuring your business thrives while staying aligned with your vision.

Travel
Driven by an obsession with adventure, I’ve lived in five countries on three continents and traveled extensively across the globe. I speak fluent Spanish with a Central American accent.
Food
I am crazy about Indian food, devouring samosas, keema and dal whenever possible. But I'm always down for some spicy Tex-Mex, Mediterranean, Korean BBQ, or Sushi, too!

Can't Live Without
I have to give a shoutout to Heather Robertson! Her early morning workout routines have truly been a game changer for me. Whether you're young or just young at heart, her free 12-week workout programs on YouTube are a must-try. Trust me, you’ll love the energy boost—let’s crush those goals together!
