Hi, I’m Havana (Han) Tran, founder and principal consultant at Havana & Co. I help small and mid-sized businesses accelerate growth through performance marketing, conversion optimization, and efficient operating systems. I design data-driven campaigns, optimize booking funnels, and build scalable processes that deliver measurable results. With a background spanning software development and media planning, I partner with service and retail brands to translate ambiguous problems into actionable roadmaps. I’ve built AI-assisted workflows, dashboards, and multi-channel campaigns (Google Ads, Meta, SEO/SEM) that align marketing, sales, and operations—from first touch to post-sale service.
