Operator · Builder · Strategic Business Advisor
Grow the business without carrying all of it.
I help founder-led businesses become more organized, more scalable, and more valuable, so the business leans less on the owner for everything.
The shift
From everything running through you, to a business that runs on its own.
Growth creates complexity. The owner is doing too much. The team is working hard but not always together. Work slips through the cracks, processes are inconsistent, and the tools are fragmented. There's real momentum. What it needs now is structure.
I step in to organize the chaos, design better systems, and improve execution, so the company becomes stronger, more scalable, and more valuable. Technology, automation, and AI are part of the toolbox. They are not the brand. The goal is a business that no longer depends on you for everything.
What I do
I help businesses build the operating infrastructure they need to grow.
- Operational assessments
- Business systems & process design
- Revenue & sales operations
- SOPs and team accountability
- Workflow redesign & simplification
- Owner-dependency reduction
- AI and automation strategy, where it pays
- Growth readiness & exit preparation
Who I help
Founder-led businesses with momentum, and the complexity that comes with it.
The business works, but it leans too heavily on the founder. Informal processes no longer fit the size of the company. These owners are ready to install systems and take real work off their plate. I work with founder-led businesses that are:
- Growing faster than their systems
- Preparing for an exit
- Acquiring another business
- Experiencing operational bottlenecks
- Losing revenue through inconsistent execution
- Looking for a Fractional COO or Operating Partner
- Ready to become more scalable and valuable
Ways to work together
Three ways I step in, matched to what the business needs.
Fractional COO
Hands-on operating leadership. I install the systems, structure, and accountability that let the company run without the owner holding every thread.

Proof
Built from the inside. Twenty years of doing the actual work, not theorizing about it.
Before advising, I built and exited a wellness brand with global distribution, and worked across technology, eCommerce, and operations. I've written the software, managed the teams, built the systems, handled the licensing, and lived the founder journey. That's the vantage point I bring to your business.
Built Natural Zing from startup to a multi-seven-figure consumer brand, developing 200+ proprietary products, serving 35,000+ customers and 1,000+ wholesale accounts, and ultimately exiting the company.

FAQ
Questions founders ask before we talk.
What does a Strategic Business Advisor do?
A Strategic Business Advisor helps founders identify growth opportunities, improve operations, streamline systems, and build more valuable businesses. Rather than focusing on one department, they work across strategy, sales, operations, technology, and execution to improve overall business performance.
What is a Fractional COO?
A Fractional COO provides executive-level operational leadership on a part-time basis. Businesses gain the experience of a Chief Operating Officer without hiring a full-time executive, making it an ideal solution for founder-led companies preparing to scale.
How do you help businesses become more valuable?
Business value increases when operations become more predictable, revenue becomes more consistent, and the business relies less on the owner. I help businesses improve systems, optimize processes, strengthen leadership, and eliminate operational bottlenecks that reduce profitability and scalability.
What types of businesses do you work with?
I primarily work with founder-led businesses, home service companies, eCommerce businesses, wellness brands, and organizations generating approximately $1 million to $20 million in annual revenue.
What is an Operating Partner?
An Operating Partner works alongside founders, investors, or private equity firms to improve business performance. This often includes operational improvements, leadership development, systems implementation, revenue optimization, and preparing businesses for growth or acquisition.
What are revenue leaks?
Revenue leaks are missed opportunities that reduce profitability. Common examples include missed phone calls, slow response times, inconsistent follow-up, poor customer communication, inefficient processes, and weak operational systems.
Do you implement solutions or only provide advice?
Both. Depending on the engagement, I serve as a strategic advisor, fractional executive, or hands-on implementation partner. Recommendations are valuable, but execution creates results.
What industries do you specialize in?
My background includes software, eCommerce, food and supplements, wellness, and home services. While every industry has unique challenges, operational excellence and scalable business systems are universal.
Why work with an experienced founder?
Having built, scaled, and successfully exited multiple businesses, I understand the challenges founders face because I've experienced them firsthand. My advice comes from operating businesses, not just consulting with them.
How do I get started?
The first step is a conversation about your business, current challenges, growth goals, and operational bottlenecks. From there, we'll determine whether a strategic advisory engagement, assessment, or ongoing operational support is the best fit.
