Founded in 2018 with one purpose:

Helping businesses to succeed in the future
while executing in the present.

 
 
 

Every time a plane takes off, the flight attendant instructs "If you are traveling with a child or someone who requires assistance, secure your mask on first, and then assist the other person." Why is this instruction necessary? Because helping yourself before someone else in need is against everything our brains tell us to do in that situation. However, in this instance, it is exactly what needs to be done. The same goes for business. A business, especially a scaling business, needs to look at decisions today in the light of what those decisions will do to the strategy, culture, and scalability of the firm in the long run.

Operational Executive | Builder of Scalable, Sale-Ready Companies

I build companies that scale—and make sure they’re worth something when they get there.

I’m an operational leader with a track record of turning chaos into clarity and companies into growth machines. I’ve led ops for startups, PE-backed platforms, and emergency-response scaleouts—driving efficiency, building data infrastructure, and creating the kind of systems that make exits cleaner, margins fatter, and teams stronger.

As Co-COO of SHIELD Illinois, I helped build a statewide COVID testing infrastructure from zero to $200M+ in revenue in under a year. At Goettl, I brought discipline to chaos—standing up a custom data lake for pennies on the dollar, launching an OpEx program that improved margins and retention, and leading a digital transformation effort across fleet, IT, inventory, and vendor systems.

I’ve worked in healthcare, fintech, home services, and insurance—and I’m industry-agnostic. I care about building systems that last, cultures that scale, and outcomes that matter.

This site is where I share ideas, tell stories, and connect with companies and people who are trying to grow on purpose.

If you're building something and want to make sure it doesn’t fall apart while you grow, let’s talk.
