Operations Consulting From An Operator
Ops work that ends firefighting. Process design, workflow optimization, capacity planning, vendor management, and the operating rhythm that makes operations boring on purpose.
What ops engagements cover
Operations problems usually surface as people problems — bottlenecks, dropped balls, escalations to the owner, missed dates. Underneath, they're almost always process problems: undefined workflow, unclear ownership, missing handoffs, and no metrics.
I redesign the workflows, install ownership, build the dashboards that surface problems before they become escalations, and put the operating rhythm in place that keeps things running without constant founder intervention.
The work spans service delivery, fulfillment, project execution, internal ops, finance ops, customer ops, and the cross-functional handoffs where most companies leak the most value.
- Workflow mapping and redesign
- Ownership and accountability assignment
- Capacity planning and forecasting
- Dashboards that surface problems early
- Vendor and procurement governance
- Operating rhythm and review cadence
