Ryan C. Winter | Fractional Integrator & Business Operations Strategist
I work with founders and leadership teams who have a clear vision but need someone to own execution. As a Fractional Integrator and COO, I specialize in EOS-running companies and owner-operated businesses that are ready to scale, tighten operations, or prepare for an exit.
My background spans three lanes that rarely overlap in one person: operations leadership, M&A advisory, and digital marketing. That combination means I don't just fix processes in isolation -- I see how systems, people, revenue, and business value all connect.
What I actually do for clients:
Led EverLogic Software to its most profitable year in 13 years as EOS Integrator -- implemented the full Entrepreneurial Operating System, rebuilt the sales process, and drove a 20% price increase with minimal churn across a team of 20.
Currently serving as Business Development Lead and Integrator at JAXAERO Flight School -- built marketing infrastructure from scratch, replaced an underperforming ad agency with an in-house system, and authored company-wide HR, compliance, and operational documentation.
Active business broker at Truforte Business Group, managing multi-six-figure transactions through the full lifecycle -- valuation, buyer qualification, APA drafting, SBA financing coordination, and close.
Where I add the most value:
EOS implementation and Integrator seat (fractional or interim)
Operations buildout: SOPs, KPIs, accountability structures, leadership team alignment
Sales process design and CRM integration (HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, GoHighLevel)
Go-to-market strategy and paid acquisition management (Google Ads, Meta)
Exit readiness and business valuation consulting
Fractional marketing leadership for service businesses and professional firms
Industries I know well: SaaS, aviation/flight training, professional services, trades, real estate, legal, and owner-operated businesses across Northeast Florida and remote.
I'm direct, process-driven, and focused on outcomes over activity. If you need a strategic partner who can lead from the front and build the systems that make growth sustainable, let's talk.

I help founders stop being the bottleneck in their own company. I build the operational systems, accountability structures, and team infrastructure that let growing businesses actually scale without everything depending on the person at the top.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Most recently, I took a CPA firm from a $60K annual loss to $250K profit in under two years. I integrated two acquisitions, transitioned the entire operation to remote, built a full SOP library from scratch, and created the accountability systems that let the owner step back while profits grew. Before that, I built and still run a six-figure eCommerce business that operates on autopilot.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What I've learned from every engagement: companies don't stall because people aren't working hard enough. They stall because the work is invisible. Teams are disconnected. Systems don't talk to each other. People rebuild things that already exist because nobody can find what was already done. Departments hand off work with no shared context, and clients feel the jolt. When I build an operating system for a company, it makes all of that visible: who owns what, what's done, what's stuck, and where the gaps are. Accountability stops being a confrontation and becomes a conversation, because the system surfaces reality every single week.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Where I operate: fractional COO, operations manager, operations director, integrator. Whatever title fits. I embed in your business, align your team with your vision, and build infrastructure that works after I leave. I've done this across professional services, agencies, SaaS, eCommerce, and healthcare staffing.
What that looks like in practice: workflow design, SOP creation, project management implementation, team accountability frameworks, M&A integration, business systems analysis, and process automation. I've built complex Airtable operating systems, managed practice management implementations for 650+ clients, designed API-driven automation pipelines, and led teams of 15+ through major transitions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I treat your business like my own. I communicate directly. And I close with a question, not a pitch: what's the operational problem keeping you up at night?

I run the operational side of a founder's business so they can focus on growth, not admin.
Over 16,400 hours on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score, and Top Rated status back that up. Clients keep me because I catch problems before they become fires, not because I wait to be told what to do.
As Chief of Staff to a construction company founder, I built the SOPs, ran weekly team alignment meetings, and became the decision layer between the founder and his crews so he did not have to be in every conversation. His business kept moving whether he was in the room or not.
Here is what that looks like for you:
Your calendar and inbox run on a system, not on reaction. Meetings get the right prep, follow-ups happen without reminders, and nothing sits unanswered.
Your operations get documented. SOPs, checklists, and processes that mean your business does not depend on you personally remembering how things work.
Your tools stay coordinated. Asana, Notion, Google Workspace, Slack. Tasks move, deadlines hold, and people know what they own.
Your team and vendors have one point of contact who follows through, so things do not fall through the cracks between people.
I work best with founders who are past the stage of doing everything themselves and need someone who thinks like an operator, not a task-taker.
If you want a partner who protects your time and runs the systems behind your business, message me and let's talk about what you need most right now.

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼! I'm Kim, a serial entrepreneur turned Business & Strategy Consultant with 10+ years of experience helping startups, small businesses, and Fortune 100s like Disney and Boeing thrive. The knowledge & expertise I've gained from experience is fortified by Lean Six Sigma certifications, a Psychological Science degree, and an MBA from USC Marshall (a top-20 business school).
𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗: My mother was an entrepreneur, so like a fish in water, I've been surrounded by business my entire life. She founded a snack food manufacturer when I was 5, and it grew alongside me like a sibling. After her unexpected passing, I became the company's CEO and joined forces with my human siblings to run it. That remains the most stressful and scariest year of my professional and personal life, but the lessons afforded to me during childhood and the support of an awe-inspiring team empowered me to succeed its trials by fire.
In my first year as CEO, revenue increased by 20% and profitability increased by 36%. We doubled within a few years and steadily grew until receiving a buy-out offer that, after some negotiation, we couldn't refuse. I attribute those experiences to the consultant I've become and my ability to connect with clients. I'm intimately familiar with how overwhelming running a business can be, and I'm passionate about leveraging the knowledge and expertise I've accumulated to empower entrepreneurs in similar ways.
𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣: I bring a unique blend of practical knowledge, strategic thinking, business acumen, and technical skills to the table. I specialize in data-driven strategy development, which frequently culminates in projects including comprehensive research & data analysis, business plan writing & development, growth & marketing strategies, and financial analysis & planning. Furthermore, my network of industry experts and professionals enables me to provide clients with access to additional resources and support.

Fractional CHRO | Strategic HR Operations & Talent Acquisition for Startups
Stop "winging" your HR. Protect your business and scale with confidence.
Are you a founder or CEO spending too much time on payroll issues, employee headaches, and compliance paperwork instead of growing your company?
As a business grows past 10 employees, HR can no longer be managed "off the side of a desk." One compliance oversight or a bad hire can cost you thousands in legal fees and lost productivity. That’s where I come in. I provide Fractional HR Leadership—giving you the senior-level expertise of an HR Director at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. I specialize in building "clean" HR infrastructures for companies with 1–75 employees, ensuring your systems are as professional as the products you create.
How I Help You Win: As featured in Biz Journals and recognized for driving workforce excellence, I don't just "manage" HR—I engineer people systems that deliver measurable results. I bridge the gap between Fortune 500 strategy and the agile needs of high-growth ventures.
Strategic Organizational Development: I move beyond basic tasks to focus on the "big picture"—including strategic HR planning, 360-degree feedback loops, and employee service administration that scales from seed stage to acquisitions, founder exit plans to IPO.
End-to-End Talent Management: Leveraging a global track record, I help you hire for both competency and culture. I design onboarding experiences that ensure new hires acquire the skills to become effective, revenue-generating members of your team from day one.
Custom Policies & Procedures: No "copy-paste" handbooks. I develop internal HR policies and procedures meticulously tailored to how you run your business while ensuring airtight compliance with state, federal, and international laws.
High-Impact Talent Retention: In today’s tight economy, retention is your biggest cost-saver. I implement comprehensive Rewards & Recognition programs and Learning & Development modules that foster trust, confidence, and long-term loyalty.
Proactive Employee Relations: I serve as your dedicated partner in fostering "good order" within your team, managing performance coaching and conflict resolution with the clarity and transparency a growing business requires.
Systems Efficiency (HRIS): I audit and optimize your HRIS workflows to ensure data integrity, efficiency, and user-friendly human resources, payroll, and talent systems, turning your tech stack into a tool for empowerment rather than a source of friction.

Top-Rated Operations Manager. Google PM Certified. Embedded in founder-led service businesses, content production studios, and financial operations teams across the globe.
Here's what clients hire me to fix:
→ Founder still approving every decision (nothing moves without you)
→ Team doing tasks, not owning outcomes
→ No documented process - everything lives in someone's head
→ Scaling the business but also scaling the chaos
Results clients typically see:
→ 15+ hrs/week freed from day-to-day management
→ Teams that execute without constant check-ins
→ SOPs that actually get followed
→ 95%+ on-time delivery across distributed teams
What makes this different from hiring a generalist VA or project manager?
Corporate ops frameworks don't fit lean remote teams. I've spent 3 years embedded inside service businesses, content studios, and financial operations - not consulting from the outside. I build systems that work with the team you have, not the team you wish you had.
"Wilkins turned a chaotic project into a well-oiled machine. His guidance helped our team improve efficiency by 40%, and the results were remarkable." - Recent Client
If you're spending 20+ hours a week managing team chaos instead of growing - send me a message. I'll show you exactly where the friction is.
