Many business owners and founders are excellent at what they do but too often are drowning in everything else. Operations that made sense at $1M start breaking at $3M. A team that worked great with 5 people struggles at 15. And when it's time to grow, raise money, or sell those cracks become very expensive. I help owners fix that before it costs them. I bring an unusual combination to the table: I've run businesses from the inside as an owner and executive, including serving as VP and General Manager with full P&L responsibility and 9 direct reports in a middle market, family owned company. I currently work as an M&A advisor on transactions up to $25M. That means I see your business the way a buyer, investor, or growth partner would, not just the way an operator does. That perspective changes everything about where we focus and what we prioritize. What I do: Identify what's actually breaking — not just the symptoms, but the structural issues underneath them Build clean, scalable systems your team can follow without you babysitting every process Improve margins through smarter cost control, workflow redesign, and accountability structures Prepare businesses for growth events: a capital raise, a partnership, an acquisition, or a sale Step in as a Fractional COO when you need an experienced operator in your corner without the full-time overhead Coach individuals and leadership teams on performance, communication, and career trajectory Who I work best with: Owners of small and lower middle market businesses — typically $1M to $25M — who are stretched thin, hitting a growth ceiling, or getting ready for a major transition. If you're preparing to sell, bring on a partner, or simply build something that doesn't fall apart when you step away, that's exactly where I operate. You will find me direct, calm, and results focused. I don't disappear after the kickoff call but I stay involved until the work is actually done. If any of that sounds like what you need, let's talk.

I help founders and sales teams turn leads into revenue through pipeline discipline, coaching, and a repeatable sales operating system. I’m a player-coach sales leader with 10+ years of B2B software/services experience, selling to owners and executives and running full-cycle deals from discovery to close. Most teams don’t have a “lead problem” they have a process and follow-up problem. I fix that by tightening ICP, building sequences, enforcing CRM hygiene, improving discovery and objection handling, and coaching reps live (call reviews, roleplay, barge-in support when appropriate). If you need someone who can both lead and execute, I can step in to: improve conversion, clean up your pipeline, establish daily/weekly rhythms, and help your reps close with confidence.
