Where I get called in

You probably recognize at least one of these.

  • The CEO or founder is personally running work that should be a system.

  • A process that matters lives in a spreadsheet, and one person understands it.

  • Teams retype the same information between tools that don't talk to each other.

  • Growth means hiring more people, because the current process won't scale without them.

  • We keep talking about AI, and none of it has turned into something the team actually uses.

  • If one of these is yours, that's the conversation.

    Start there

Proof

Three things worth knowing before you call.

Run technology at scale

Led a 20-person technology organization across engineering, QA, cloud, data, security, and enterprise systems. Technology leadership for a mission-critical national platform serving 600,000 clinicians. Contributed to 99.95% platform uptime. Reduced support demand by more than 45%.

Operated a business, not just advised one

Co-founded and scaled a multi-channel eCommerce business past $10M in annual revenue. I owned the operations, the systems, and the P&L, so I read cost and risk the way an owner does.

Delivering right now, hands-on

Currently embedded with a founder-led specialty healthcare provider, replacing a CEO-run manual process with an automated operating system. Founder and fractional CTO of EMS Conferences. Built Scanimo in React Native and launched it in both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Case study

Replacing a CEO-run spreadsheet process with an automated shipping operating system

A founder-led specialty healthcare provider ran a manual kit-shipping operation out of spreadsheets, with the CEO personally holding it together every week. We replaced it with a shipping operating system built to run without them.

The shipping process had no operating system behind it. Intake, fulfillment, return tracking, and exceptions all depended on spreadsheets and individual attention.

The constraint, stated plainly. It is the thing most spreadsheet problems turn out to be.
