Fractional CEO / COOBoard · Investor · Advisor

Strategy is a slide. Operating is Monday morning.

I work with founders and investors on what happens after the plan: the people, the numbers, and the weekly rhythm that turn strategy into results and get a business ready for its next round, its next scale, or its exit.
