General Manager

Fractional Executive Leader / Advisor / Consultant

🚀 I’ve built and scaled businesses from $0 to $100M.

Now I help founders, owners, operators, and investors grow companies in the $0–$30M range — faster, leaner, and smarter.

As a Fractional COO / Operator & Advisor, I help businesses scale by fixing what’s broken, unlocking what’s next, and building what’s needed — across ops, sales, biz dev, org design, execution, EBITDA, and value creation.

💡 Who I Work With

✅ Startups with early traction trying to scale
✅ SMBs hitting a ceiling — what worked at $1M is breaking by $10M
✅ Companies pushing toward $30M — what got them here won’t get them to $50M or $100M
✅ Founder-led businesses looking to step out of the weeds
✅ PE & VC firms needing a trusted operator across portcos — bringing clarity, execution, EBITDA growth & value creation

🔧 My proprietary OPTICS System™ plugs directly into a business to: 

• Uncover bottlenecks
• Identify untapped growth
• Build the infrastructure, accountability, and execution needed to scale
• Reposition the company and provide a clear GTM plan

It works alongside any framework — including EOS — to accelerate progress and bring strategy to life.

🧠 Strategy + Execution = Results

Most consultants deliver frameworks with no follow-through.
Most operators execute but can’t design scalable strategy.
I do both — and make sure they work together.

✔ Strategic planning, positioning & growth clarity
✔ Execution, systems & accountability
✔ Biz dev, sales team buildout & GTM that drives revenue

🛠 How I Drive Results

✔ 360 audits & execution roadmaps
✔ Operational clarity + team alignment
✔ GTM execution & revenue acceleration
✔ EBITDA growth, value creation & margin expansion
✔ P&L, forecasting & capital planning
✔ EOS-compatible — I can plug into or alongside any system
✔ I step in as a true Integrator when needed

🏭 Manufacturing, Supply Chain & Commercialization — Oversaw and scaled manufacturing companies, restructured production floors, and led product dev, sourcing, co-manufacturing, logistics, pricing, trade marketing & distribution — from idea to shelf.

📩 If growth is stalling, ops are messy, or scale feels out of reach — let’s fix it.

Real work. Real results.
