What I do

I help middle market businesses apply these four levers to compound growth and scale.

AI Implementation

Find the three or four places AI actually moves margin in your business & then ship them. No pilots that die in a slide deck. Easy wins for your team.

Operations & Automation

Map the workflows eating your team's week, remove the handoffs, and automate what shouldn't need a human at all.

Sales & Marketing Systems

Pipeline that isn't dependent on heroics: clear offer, repeatable outbound, tracked funnel, accountable numbers.

Growth & Scale Strategy

The operating cadence, metrics, and org design that carry a company from founder-run to genuinely scalable.

How it works

Assess, prioritize, implement. Simplified growth, in that order.

01

Assessment

A free AI readiness and operations review of how work actually flows through your company today.

02

Roadmap

A prioritized plan scored by payback: what to automate first, what to fix, what to leave alone.

03

Implementation

We build and roll it out alongside your team, with adoption and measurement baked in.

About

I'm an operator first, a strategic partner second.

I've spent my career inside growing companies - building the sales engines, the operating rhythms, and the back-office systems that let a business add revenue without adding chaos. Now I bring that to owners in the messy, high-leverage middle: too big to run on instinct, too lean to hire your way out.

My work is practical. We find the constraint, apply automation and AI where the payback is obvious, and leave your team with systems they'll actually use.

Results

Before and After: what changes in 90 days?

Three real engagements - pipeline, operations, and cash - with the metrics that moved.

01

B2B SaaS · $12M ARR

Pipeline growth without more headcount

Sales team lived in spreadsheets. Lead follow-up was uneven, and no one could say which campaigns produced real pipeline.

Before

Avg. lead response
18 hours
MQL-to-opportunity
6%
Pipeline per rep
Flat 2 yrs

After

Avg. lead response
8 min
MQL-to-opportunity
19%
Pipeline per rep
+42%
What changed

AI lead scoring, automated outreach sequences, and a unified CRM workflow that gave the team one source of truth.

02

Professional Services · $8M revenue

Back-office throughput doubled

Project setup, scheduling, and client reporting were manual. Admin work was scaling faster than billable hours.

Before

Project setup time
4 days
Monthly close
14 days
Admin per project
11 hrs

After

Project setup time
4 hours
Monthly close
5 days
Admin per project
3 hrs
What changed

Document automation, scheduling logic, and a client-reporting assistant that let the team reinvest time into delivery.

03

Manufacturing · $24M revenue

Cash conversion in 90 days

Invoices sat in approval queues, collections were reactive, and cash flow was hard to forecast.

Before

DSO
67 days
Invoice exceptions
22%
Cash forecast accuracy
±30%

After

DSO
41 days
Invoice exceptions
6%
Cash forecast accuracy
±8%
What changed

Automated invoice matching, collections cadences, and a working-capital dashboard that surfaced exceptions before they aged.

What clients say

Trust built on outcomes, not pitch decks.

Chris didn't sell us a roadmap. He found the two workflows costing us real money and automated them in weeks. Our team actually uses what we built.

Alex M

CEO, B2B SaaS · $22M ARR

MQL-to-opportunity: 6% → 19%

We were skeptical after a failed AI pilot. Chris cut through the hype and pointed us at the exact bottlenecks. Three months later, admin time per project dropped 70%.

Jordan L

COO, Professional Services · $8M revenue

Admin per project: 11 hrs → 3 hrs

The cash dashboard alone changed how we run weekly leadership meetings. We finally see problems before they become surprises.

Sam P

CFO, Manufacturing · $24M revenue

DSO: 67 days → 41 days
