Connect the commercial plan to the operation.
Start with the sales plan, P&L, demand forecast, inventory position, suppliers, fulfillment partners, systems and team. Establish what the business needs to buy, deliver, fund and manage.
Operator in Residence
Build the operation behind your next stage of growth.
Your growth plan puts pressure on inventory, suppliers, fulfillment, cash and the team. I step in as an Operator in Residence to run those pieces together, make the operating calls and build the systems required to support the next stage of the business.
You get senior operating ownership without making a full-time executive hire. Depending on the chapter, the role may be interim or fractional CEO, COO, or CFO.

Take control of the operation. Build it to last.
Own the weekly operating decisions.
Run the forecast and operating review. Make the calls across inventory, purchasing, vendors, fulfillment, margin and team capacity before problems reach the founder.
Build the permanent operating layer.
Improve the systems, processes and reporting. Clarify roles, strengthen functional leaders and build the internal capacity the company needs next.
I spent 10 years as co-founder and CEO of Koio, running a consumer brand across e-commerce, stores and wholesale, with production in Italy. I managed the operating tradeoffs between growth, inventory, margin and cash, brought the company to profitability and led its sale.

What does the operation need to support next?
Tell me where the business is headed, what the operation needs to deliver and where senior ownership is currently missing. I read every inquiry personally.
