Helping small businesses run like public companies.
Fractional COO services for small businesses. Twenty years of public-company operating discipline, brought to companies that could never afford a full-time COO.
What I do
Operating System
Weekly KPI reporting that lands in your inbox every Monday morning. A leadership meeting rhythm that drives decisions instead of consuming time. Workflows that turn data into operating decisions. The systems that make sure leadership knows what's happening in the business — every week, not every quarter.
Capital & Economics
True job, customer, and product-line profitability — not what the P&L shows, what the work actually delivers. Investment economics and capital allocation. Monthly financial review that turns numbers into action. The financial literacy a public company takes for granted, translated into private-company practice.
People & Organization
Org design that aligns the team with where the business is going, not where it's been. Hiring scorecards and interview frameworks. Incentives that drive the right behaviors. The hard performance conversations most owners avoid. Building a leadership team that pulls in the same direction.
Who I work with
I serve small businesses where the owner is close enough to the work to feel the pain, and the business is big enough that the pain is real money.
• Oil and gas — private E&P operators & oilfield service companies
• Capital-intensive small businesses with job-level economics — construction, specialty contracting, industrial services, equipment rental and services.
• Family-owned businesses preparing for next-generation leadership, professional management, or sale.
Typical size: $5–50 million in annual revenue. If your business doesn't fit cleanly into these categories but the pain sounds familiar, send a note. It’s worth a conversation.
