I work with a handful of operators and firms at a time. Owners who want the business running without them. Firms installing the operating layer across a portfolio.
Two ways to work together
01 · Operators
For operators
- Who
- Owners and operators with a running business, building toward buying one.
- The work
- Install the operating system, get the business running without you, and build the acquisition muscle on a real company: yours.
- Format
- Direct and hands-on. We work on the business itself, not on material.
02 · Firms
For firms
- Who
- PE firms, holdcos, and family offices with operating companies.
- The work
- AI integration and operations across the portfolio: where the labour actually comes out, what to centralise, and how to install it without breaking the company.
- Format
- Diagnostic first, then the install plan, then the operating cadence. Your team executes or mine does.
This is operating work, done with me. No programme, and no ladder to climb.
Priced to the situation, and I keep the number of clients small enough that it stays real.
How it works
You applyA few lines about who you are and what you run or hold.
We talkWhether the work makes sense, and what it would involve. A straight answer either way.
We startOn the business itself: the diagnostic, the install, then the operating cadence.
Before you apply
Is this a programme?
No. There is nothing to enrol in and nothing to complete. It is operating work on your business, done with me, starting with whatever it actually needs first.
Who is it actually for?
Owners with a running business who want it to run without them, and firms that want the operating layer installed across companies they already hold. If you are pre-revenue, this is not a fit yet.
How is it priced?
A fixed fee for a defined scope, set on the call once I have seen the business. Nothing is published, because the work is different for a ten-person service company than for a portfolio.
How many clients do you take?
Few, on purpose. This is my time, not a team's, so the number stays small enough that the work stays real.
Work with me
Two ways in. Send an application and I reply either way, or book a call and we talk it through. Both come straight to me, not a setter.
I read every application myself, and reply either way.
- Who you are, and what you run or hold.
- What you want help with, in your own words.
- Where the operating layer would land first.
- To apply
- Free. No obligation either side.
- Reply
- From me, usually within a few days.
- Clients
- Few, on purpose.
Thirty minutes, direct with me. No deck, no pitch.
- Where the business actually leaks: demand, pipeline, retention, or expansion.
- What would change first, and what it would take to do it.
- Whether this is a fit. If it is not, I say so on the call.
- Length
- 30 minutes, by video.
- With
- Me, not a setter.
- Cost
- Free. Bring the numbers you have.

None of this is gated. Read it first and apply only if the way I think about it matches how you want your business run.
