My Services

I help stalled or struggling companies identify root problems, build a clear actionable plan, and move fast to deliver results that matter.

Businesses seek me out when decisive leadership is key and experience is vital. When results are measured in days but their impact endures for months and years to come. They reach out when they need the advice and support of someone who has been there, rather than relying on a bunch of slide presentations.

Fractional CEO

I’m not your typical CEO. I’m an experienced operator who steps in when a business needs to quickly identify what’s not working and implement a practical plan to fix it. I work closely with leadership to focus on what matters most—stabilizing operations, resolving immediate issues, and establishing a clear path forward. My approach is straightforward: assess the situation, find the root causes, and build a plan to deliver results. No long learning curve, no theory—just hands-on work to get the business moving in the right direction. I’ve been in the CEO role for nearly twenty years, and I have a straightforward plan to get companies back on track. 

Turnarounds

I’ve led turnarounds in a failing division of a public company and one that emerged from bankruptcy. The goals were the same—stabilize fast and improve results. I focus on the facts, find what’s dragging performance, and build a plan that can be executed immediately. My approach and leadership style help gain the trust of the remaining team. I know how to get the best out of them to drive results faster and help lay the foundation for a winning culture.

Strategic Business Plan Review

Group think and myopics when building a strategic business plan is common. CEOs and their teams are not successful because in most cases the business plan is unclear. I can nearly guarantee that most leadership teams are not aligned with the company's goals and strategies. Throughout a one to three-day workshop, I’ll work side by side with the team to review the business plan. My approach will help your team to create a simple, focused, and actionable business plan that allows all employees to take ownership of their success. No PowerPoints. Just a plan that will deliver results.
