General Manager

Fractional Executive Leader / Advisor / Consultant

🚀 I’ve built and scaled businesses from $0 to $100M.

Now I help founders, owners, operators, and investors grow companies in the $0–$30M range — faster, leaner, and smarter.

As a Fractional COO / Operator & Advisor, I help businesses scale by fixing what’s broken, unlocking what’s next, and building what’s needed — across ops, sales, biz dev, org design, execution, EBITDA, and value creation.

💡 Who I Work With

✅ Startups with early traction trying to scale
✅ SMBs hitting a ceiling — what worked at $1M is breaking by $10M
✅ Companies pushing toward $30M — what got them here won’t get them to $50M or $100M
✅ Founder-led businesses looking to step out of the weeds
✅ PE & VC firms needing a trusted operator across portcos — bringing clarity, execution, EBITDA growth & value creation

🔧 My proprietary OPTICS System™ plugs directly into a business to: 

• Uncover bottlenecks
• Identify untapped growth
• Build the infrastructure, accountability, and execution needed to scale
• Reposition the company and provide a clear GTM plan

It works alongside any framework — including EOS — to accelerate progress and bring strategy to life.

🧠 Strategy + Execution = Results

Most consultants deliver frameworks with no follow-through.
Most operators execute but can’t design scalable strategy.
I do both — and make sure they work together.

✔ Strategic planning, positioning & growth clarity
✔ Execution, systems & accountability
✔ Biz dev, sales team buildout & GTM that drives revenue

🛠 How I Drive Results

✔ 360 audits & execution roadmaps
✔ Operational clarity + team alignment
✔ GTM execution & revenue acceleration
✔ EBITDA growth, value creation & margin expansion
✔ P&L, forecasting & capital planning
✔ EOS-compatible — I can plug into or alongside any system
✔ I step in as a true Integrator when needed

📩 If growth is stalling, ops are messy, or scale feels out of reach — let’s fix it.

Real work. Real results.

Turning LinkedIn into a Fundraising Engine for Nonprofits | Keynote Speaker | Investor | Husband & Father | 2 Exits |

I spent years building and scaling companies, raising investment, and developing partnerships across different industries. What I learned is that growth always comes down to one thing: relationships.

When I started working with nonprofits, I noticed something that changed my direction. Many organizations were approaching corporate partnerships as sponsorship requests rather than co-created impact. The conversation was transactional, so the funding was short term.

So now I help nonprofits secure meaningful corporate partnerships and long term funding through a relationship first strategy. I also train nonprofit consultants who want to deliver this framework with their clients.

My work at Impact Circle focuses on:
• Building partnership pipelines that are based on alignment, not pitching
• Training nonprofit teams to lead high trust conversations with corporate partners
• Helping consultants grow their visibility and revenue using a value first approach

I still build companies that create impact. I am developing Givly, an AI powered platform designed to help nonprofits increase grant success by giving teams a research and writing co pilot that understands their goals.

A few parts of my journey:
• Built and exited multiple companies
• Raised millions in investment
• Recognized by JA Worldwide for creating meaningful impact
• Reduced over one million single use plastic bottles through sustainable water systems
• International keynote speaker on social impact, partnerships, and purpose driven growth

If you believe relationships are the real engine of funding and partnership success, we are aligned.

Send me a message with the word Impact, and I will share resources we use to help teams grow sustainably.

Let’s build something meaningful.
