Operational Excellence
WE DON'T
ADVISE.
WE BUILD.
High-stakes operations consulting for manufacturing and logistics leaders. I assess, decide, and deploy the right solution — whether optimizing what exists, implementing a proven system, or building a tailored tool when it’s justified.
A Method Built for Reality.
I don't sell slide decks. I deliver working operational systems.
Every engagement begins with a structured operational audit. I analyze floor reality, workflows, data, and real friction points to determine whether change is needed — and how far to go. The audit may conclude with internal optimization with no new system, rollout of an existing market tool, or a custom-built solution when complexity truly demands it.
Built Running Operations — Not Observing Them.
Twenty years across shipping, production, and operations leadership. Real accountability for performance through hands-on execution.
Title
Operational Systems.
Operations Audit
Operational diagnostic to pinpoint real bottlenecks, hidden costs, and unnecessary system decisions. Goal: avoid heavy ERP projects when simpler solutions suffice, or properly prepare deployment when unavoidable.
AI Enablement
Not theory. Practical workflows that integrate AI into your team's existing daily routine for immediate gain.
Custom Systems
Small ERPs, CRM integrations, and internal tools built specifically for your unique operational reality.
An execution ally for advisory teams
Some engagements naturally evolve from diagnosis to the question of how to land the work on the ground.
I occasionally collaborate with consulting teams to support this phase—translating an agreed direction into dependable day-to-day operations.
My role is not parallel advice; it is to make a defined path work in practice, systems, and tools.
I operate discreetly, aligned with the mission’s goals and respectful of existing client relationships and the firm’s role.
The aim is simple: help complete the journey when execution support—operational or technical—adds value.
When execution becomes a key success factor, working together can elevate outcomes without complicating the engagement.
Let’s collaborateWhat I bring to the mission
It’s not competing advice, but a possible extension when the context calls for it:
- Deep operational understanding from years in manufacturing, logistics, and multi-shift environments
- The ability to assess, with the firm, whether a tool or application truly fits the client context
- Design and development of tailored operational tools when off-the-shelf options don’t integrate naturally
- Hands-on build and deployment to secure execution all the way to the field
Where collaboration creates value
Collaboration can help:
- Give more depth and durability to recommendations
- Secure operational decisions before major commitments
- Ease field adoption when tools or processes evolve
- Maintain strong client confidence throughout the project
Built for Operators.
01 / Solo Execution
I personally design and build every solution. You deal with the founder, not a junior associate.
02 / Zero Theory
I don't sell slide decks or abstract strategies. I deliver working code and operational systems. I recommend building only when it's the best economic and operational option — not a technology reflex.
03 / Proven Results
Every system I build is grounded in 20 years of real-world manufacturing leadership.
04 / High Velocity
I build for impact. Deployment is measured in days, not months or years.
Results vary by scope and operational maturity. ROI depends on the options selected after audit and validation.
