Build the operation behind your next stage of growth.
I join your leadership team and take responsibility for the operating priorities we agree on. Depending on what the business needs, that can mean leading work across growth, profitability, cash, team structure or day-to-day operations.
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.
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.
02
Own the weekly operating decisions.
I run the weekly operating review and make decisions within the scope we agree on. When a decision needs your input, I bring you the options and a recommendation.
03
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.
Chris has become a trusted strategic partner to me at Grown Alchemist. He has helped us clarify our priorities, reshape our organization and strengthen the leadership of our digital business. He gets into the detail, challenges my thinking and works alongside the team to turn decisions into action. I trust his judgment and would recommend him to founders and owners who need an experienced operator to help them build a stronger, more profitable business.
