About Jill Muranaka & New Century Info — Consulting in Huntington Beach

Jill Muranaka, founder of New Century Info

Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Jill Muranaka.

I started New Century Info in 2014 after fifteen years running operations and growth for consumer and B2B companies across Southern California. I built the practice I wished I could have hired when I was in an operating seat — senior, honest, and focused on outcomes I could measure.

Before consulting, I led operations at two venture-backed startups (one acquired in 2013), spent five years as a director at a national retail brand, and started my career in strategic finance. I hold an MBA from UC Irvine's Paul Merage School of Business.

Today, I split my time between advisory retainers, deeper 90-day engagements, and a small number of board seats. When I'm not on a client call, I'm usually on my bike along the PCH or coaching two teenagers through their own version of strategy and operations.

What we stand for

Four principles that guide every engagement

✎

Say the true thing

Our job is not to make you feel better about the plan. It's to give you the read your team can't — respectfully, in writing, and on time.

📈

Measure what matters

If we can't tie a recommendation to a number that moves, it doesn't ship. Every engagement includes a scorecard you actually use.

👥

Own the outcome

We don't hand off a deck and disappear. We stay through the messy execution weeks, because that's where value is created or lost.

🔒

Independence first

We take no referral fees, no software commissions, and no kickbacks. Our only incentive is your result.
