I’m not your typical consultant. I’m a growth partner and fixer. I build actionable strategies, real results - not PowerPoints.
Being CEO doesn’t mean you have to go through this journey on your own.
CEO and Strategic Operations Planning
Align Your Team Around a Focused Plan
Running a business comes with a constant stream of decisions, some straightforward, some high-stakes. I work one-on-one with founders and CEOs to bring clarity, challenge assumptions, and help businesses grow. It's not about abstract advice, PowerPoint presentations, or endless discussions. It’s about developing a focused strategic plan, executing it, tracking results, and aligning the organization to ensure success. And move fast.
Testimonials
Hunter Jensen, Tech CEO, Barefoot Labs
“Gerry is not the kind of consultant that just follows the same playbook for every client. He took the time to really understand our business and the market. His go-to-market expertise was transformative for us. His advice has been instrumental in marketing, sales, operations, and product. And he doesn't just give advice, he'll get in the weeds and really help with execution. And, he's made significant introductions that drove net new revenue. I consider my meetings with Gerry some of the most valuable uses of my time. “
Jason Weaver, Venture Investor, Tech CEO, Published Author
“While I was CEO of Shoutlet, Gerry took time to educate me on the sales process, marketing tactics, and customer service ideas that helped me build Shoutlet into multimillion-dollar social media marketing platform. Any company would benefit from his knowledge and mentorship.”
Stephanie Dathe, Executive Director, SDSU Alumni
“Working with Gerry was an extremely positive & rewarding experience. He’s the kind of advisor who rolls up his sleeves and dives in alongside you, listens deeply, asks the right questions, and helps move real work forward.
From day one, Gerry's approach was incredibly personable, thoughtful, and intentional. He brought both structure and flexibility to the process, creating space for honest conversation while still keeping us focused and moving towards actional outcomes. Gerry’s humility and honesty set the tone for genuine collaboration, and his ability to meet people where they are helped our entire team feel engaged and invested.
Thanks to his guidance, we walked away with more than just ideas…we left with a clear, actionable plan that reflects our team’s shared values and goals. Most importantly, we left feeling confident and aligned as a team.”
“I’ve worked with Gerry for over ten years and have seen his approach to consulting and turnarounds create great results.
