Operational Strategy for Founder-Led Firms

Most founders don't need another hire. They need an operating system.

As the former COO of a $1.5B publicly traded company, I install the operating systems that let founder-led firms scale — without the chaos, cracks, or cost overruns that break high-growth companies.

About

You Don't Need Another Consultant. You Need an Operator.

I operated the P&L of a $1.5B publicly traded company — 15,000 employees across 100 business units. I’ve installed the operating systems that keep high-growth companies from breaking under their own weight, and I’ve seen what fails when founders keep pushing without the infrastructure to match. Founder-led firms scaling past $5M, $10M, or $30M don’t fail because they lack vision. They fail because the systems that got them to today cannot carry them to tomorrow. That’s where I come in: not as an advisor on a deck, but as an operator in the room.
