Can you sell faster than you can deliver? What's that costing you? If every yes you get leads to your team ready to pick up their pitchforks and rise against you, read on. I'm the operational other-half for rainmaker founders like you: sales and vision dominant, the one who can close the deal but avoids the operational side like the plague. I build the supply side of that equation, so growth feels like freedom, not a bigger fire. The pattern's the same everywhere I've worked. It's all in your head, so nothing moves without you. There's no single source of truth, so nobody can find anything when they need it. Nobody agrees on what "done" looks like, so every job runs differently depending on who's doing it. You say yes before you know if the team can actually deliver it, then everyone stays back fixing it. You haven't sat down and looked at your margins in a while. And every day is reactive: whatever's loudest wins, including your own next big idea. I find the actual bottleneck, not just the symptom you're feeling, and build the fix with you rather than handing you a report. Whatever we build gets documented and handed to your team with real authority to run it, so it's still standing whether I'm in the room or not. $600K to $2.4M in four years for one client. $300K to $1.2M in four months for another, once the fulfillment process actually worked. A $4M redevelopment delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. Sixty-plus staff hired and onboarded through a recruitment system built to run without me in the room. Three sites to six in twelve months, same team, same standard. I build with AI now too. Second brains, Obsidian vaults, Claude plugins and skills, and AI agents doing the manual work your team never had time for, so what I install keeps running long after I'm gone, at a fraction of what a full-time COO costs. Core Expertise: Business Strategy & Systems Design ยท Strategic Operations Leadership ยท Performance Optimization ยท Leadership Team Development ยท Process Engineering & Automation Sectors I've worked in: NDIS ยท Aged Care ยท Healthcare including medical ยท Fitness ยท Entertainment ยท Publishing ยท Professional services ยท Financial Services I take on a small number of clients at a time, on retainer, because I build this myself rather than handing you a deck and disappearing. If growth's starting to feel more like crisis management and not fun anymore, send me a message. - Miles Lunde What I've delivered: ๐Ÿš€ 4 x revenue growth in 4 months - $300k to $1.2m increase in monthly sales by fixing the fulfillment process ๐Ÿš€ 4ร— revenue growth in 4 years ($600K โ†’ $2.4M) through systematic scaling ๐Ÿš€ $4M project redevelopment delivered ahead of schedule and under budget ๐Ÿš€ 10% COGS reduction through team redesign and automation ๐Ÿš€ 60+ staff hired and onboarded through purpose-built recruitment systems ๐Ÿš€ Doubled business footprint (3 to 6 sites) in 12 months through scalable systems ๐Ÿš€ $10M P&L accountability across multiple operating entities What makes this different in 2026: I now design my own custom systems. Using AI-augmented workflows, live dashboards, and automated pipelines, I deliver operational infrastructure faster and at a fraction of what a full-time COO costs. Clients keep what I build. It works without me. I have working expereince in using Claude, OpenAI, Vercel, Supabase, Apollo, Instantly, and Github.
