For CEOs and CFOs of founder-led companies with investors on the board, or a sale ahead.
I help founders survive their own success.
When you're the answer to every question, the business can't outgrow you. I fix the processes and build the team together, so it runs without you in the middle of it and you get out in front, leading where it goes next.
One company at a time. Meaningful engagement every day.

Sound familiar?
When you're the answer to every question, the business can't outgrow you. Revenue is up, you have a board now and a plan you didn't write, and somehow everything feels harder. None of this means something is broken: the business outgrew the way it was built.
Why one company at a time
A cadence only holds when someone is in the business every day while it's being built, and I can't do that well for more than one company. So I take one engagement at a time and give it what it needs. Meaningful engagement every day: some days that's five or six hours, some days it's a phone call. It's what lets me be in the room when it matters.
One method, four ways in
Fix the processes holding the business back, then a scorecard, a cadence, accountability and reporting to keep them fixed. The same method in every format. See how I work →

Results
Growth without chaos
A multi-location service business grew revenue more than 30% year over year on flat bookings, by running the business better.
Turnaround
A manufacturing plant that had never made a profit delivered its first profitable year, the operational turnaround that preceded the company's sale.
Retention
Every engagement has ended with the team running the work without me. Three clients have brought me back for the next phase.
Operator. Mediator. In your corner.
I've led manufacturing operations through a PE acquisition, integrating 600+ employees across two facilities and building the reporting the board used. I've built technology and business systems, and I'm a trained mediator. That combination means I can fix the process, resolve the tension around it, and speak the language your board is speaking.
Start with a conversation.
A call is a short, no-pitch conversation. You'll get a real read on where the business is stuck and what to do about it, whether or not we work together.
