Areas of focus are the lower to middle market, companies ranging from $50M – $225M in revenue, within the consumer sector.

“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” John C. Maxwell

DTC (DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER) BRANDS

Their has been an explosion of DTC brands as the barrier to entry has been reduced to a bare minimum.  Vertical B2C e-commerce alone is not a sustainable strategy to long term profitability. I can expedite your success by driving best-in-class strategy for your DTC business to accelerate revenue and profitability through B2B multichannel retail. Don’t make the same mistake that Allbirds did.

Private equity firms (BUY-SIDE), due diligence

Private Equity investors have limited bandwidth with the large amount of deals they review. Providing value creation leadership in the consumer sector to review and report on investment due diligence, I critically challenge assumptions for an independent review of the company asset to ensure there is a strategic alignment with the investment thesis.

PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS - PORTFOLIO COMPANIES

Private equity has a different terminology for fractional executives, rather they use the title “Operating Partner.” It’s essentially the same role as a Chief Growth Officer and I can help drive the operational revenue growth for PE portfolio companies providing either fractional operating partner services or C-Suite roles.

INVESTMENT BANKS (SELL-SIDE)

Many companies who decide to sell their business are often not ready.  For these types of situations I work with investment banks and their clients to help them get into “fighting weight” and improve their business model.  By optimizing their financial positioning, with a little patience, we can maximize your valuation and multiple for a more successful exit. Don’t leave $$ on the table.

Small-to-medium businesses (smb)

There is a growing demand for fractional executive support by SMB’s. Thankfully video communication and business cloud technologies have scaled, enabling corporately trained executives to provide best-in-class leadership to SMB’s with a remote or hybrid arrangement. It’s a win-win partnership.

FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES

Second and third generation family owned businesses often reach an inflection point where the family desires to exit the business and cash out. I can align an acquisition (M&A) to the ideal private equity (PE) investor and drive value creation strategy.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Jeremiah. My company needed support building some business planning and investor pitch documents. Jeremiah was energetic, responsive, insightful, and his experience, advice, and support was tremendously helpful to us during this project.

The Stakes Are High—Complacency Kills

In a shrinking world with fiercer competition, standing still is a death sentence. Disruptive tech and shifting business models can gut your market overnight—saying “we’ve always done it this way” won’t save you. A growth mindset isn’t optional; it’s survival—constantly learning, experimenting, and pushing your limits.
