Fortune 500 Operations Expertise. Without the Fortune 500 Price Tag.
I help growing manufacturers and distributors fix what's broken in their operations—then build systems that scale. Fractional VP of Operations for companies ready to run like the big players.
You've Outgrown Your Operations.
Your company is growing, but your operations haven't kept up. Orders ship late. Inventory is either too much of the wrong stuff or not enough of what customers want. Your ERP system generates reports that nobody trusts. Your warehouse team is working harder but not smarter. You know you need a VP of Operations—someone who's done this at scale—but you're not ready to commit $200K+ to a full-time hire. Or maybe you've tried consultants before and got a nice PowerPoint that's collecting dust somewhere.
What If You Could Borrow the Expertise?
I've managed $22 million in warehouse assets for Emerson. Cut production costs at an aerospace company building rockets. Built supply chain analytics for Sysco, one of the largest food distributors in North America. Now I bring that same thinking to companies like yours—through fractional engagements that give you access to enterprise-level operational expertise without the enterprise-level commitment.
Not Just Advice. Implementation.
What I Actually Do
Operational Logistics
I walk your floor, study your data, and find where margin is leaking. Not a 200-page report—a clear diagnosis of what's actually wrong and what to fix first.
Systems That Work
Whether it's implementing Odoo, optimizing your existing ERP, or building the dashboards that show you what's really happening—I build systems your team will actually use.
Ongoing Advisory
Monthly retainer engagements where I'm your operations brain trust. Strategy sessions, problem-solving, and someone to call when things go sideways.
I've Been Where you are
Before I advised companies on operations, I ran operations. I've been the guy in the warehouse at 6 AM figuring out why we shipped the wrong product to our biggest customer. I've sat in the meetings where executives asked "why don't we know this?" and had to explain why our systems weren't talking to each other. That experience shapes how I work now. I don't give you theory. I give you what actually works.
