Here are some of my client's reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Modern Mantra (Venture Design Firm, USA) "Jody is one of those rare breeds who can both set a clear strategy and roll his sleeves up to execute. He is both an operator and a leader, who thrives on solving complex challenges with clear, straightforward solutions. Jody helped our organization recognize critical gaps in our management and operations, and worked hands-on with our team to drive solutions. After working with Jody, we began keeping better score in our business, and winning more often." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read Lighting (Lighting Supplier, USA) "We hired Jody initially just to help us revamp our operations and bring them into the 21st century. He led a comprehensive audit of our current operations, analyzed our sales and fulfilment workflows, and presented us with improved workflows tailored to our needs and future growth.
