I’ve Been Where You Are
Most consultants have enterprise experience or business ownership. I've done both—and learned the hard way what actually works in real businesses.
I lost $60K in inventory before I realized I had a control problem, not a sales problem.
For five months, inventory was disappearing from one of my locations. Part theft. Part weak controls. Mostly because we didn't discover it until reconciliation—five months later. The data existed. It just wasn't connected. That moment changed everything. I'd spent 15 years as an Executive Vice President at Wells Fargo managing $154M budgets and 450+ person teams. I knew how to build enterprise-scale operations. But when I owned three multi-location businesses, I discovered something the consulting world doesn't talk about:
Enterprise playbooks don't work for growing businesses.
You don't have unlimited resources.
You don't have layers of management.
You can't hire your way out of problems.
And you definitely don't have time to implement a 200-page strategic plan.
You need systems that work on Tuesday afternoon when you're short-staffed and a supplier just failed to deliver. That's what I build.
Two Sides of the Same Coin
15 years as EVP at Wells Fargo.
Managed $154M+ budgets - Led 450+ person teams.
Delivered board-level regulatory work.
Built enterprise-scale operations.
Owned 3 multi-location businesses (2021-2024)
Learned what breaks when you scale too fast
Lived the gap between "strategy" and "Tuesday afternoon reality"
Most consultants bring one perspective. I bring both. I know what best-in-class looks like at enterprise scale — and what actually works when you're running a $5M-$50M business with limited resources and real constraints.
Technology doesn't fix chaos.
It magnifies whatever system you have.
1. Do you know where your margin is leaking?
2. Can your business run without you for two weeks?
3. If your best performer left tomorrow, could someone replicate their results?
If the answer is no, you don't have a technology problem. You have a systems problem.
That's what I fix.
I don't lead with AI. I don't push software. I start with strategy, clarity, and execution discipline. Then—and only then—we look at how technology can amplify what's working.
Tools don’t build businesses. Systems do.
What Makes This Different
I’ve been the operator reconciling data at midnight
I've scrambled to fix problems discovered too late. I know what it's like when the systems aren't there.
I don't do corporate consultant-speak:
No 'synergies.' No 'leveraging core competencies.' I talk like a business owner because I've been one.
I build systems that survive real life
Not 200-page strategic plans that sit on a shelf. Systems that work when you're short-
I won't replace your team with AI
Your team is your competitive advantage. I help you build systems that make them more effective.
