THE INTERSECTION OF FOUNDER AND STRATEGIST
Operations Consulting for Brick & Mortar Businesses
Most consultants have never built what they're telling you to scale. I have.
Having built and sold a my own 7-figure multi-location service business, then taking those frameworks across real estate finance and portfolio operations at Blackstone all the way to serving hundreds of service-based small businesses.
I specialize in brick & mortar complexity—the stuff MBA playbooks get wrong. Service businesses, trades providers, multi-unit operations where the rubber actually meets the road.
Most operating partners hand you a deck and disappear. I design the strategy and build it with you.
THE QUICK LINKS
Got scaling questions? Let's discuss your specific challenges and next steps.
what i do
I BRIDGE THE OPERATIONS GAP for the most underestimated group of founders
Brick & mortar businesses get ignored by big consulting firms. Too "traditional." Too complex. Boots on the ground kind of work. But you're building real assets, creating jobs, and serving communities. You've proven your concept works—now you need to replicate it without breaking what makes you excellent.
- Opening location #2 and beyond when location #1 barely runs without you
- Figuring out if your unit economics actually work in new markets
- Maintaining quality when you can't be everywhere at once
- Building the operational infrastructure that makes investors take you seriously
What I Bring:
Strategic operating partnership that turns multi-location chaos into your competitive advantage.
the result
Create consistency across locations. Track the KPIs that matter. Make your experience repeatable.
