What are you chasing?

For most founders I work with, the answer is freedom to pursue what's next, whether spoken or unspoken.

Maybe an exit.
Maybe their next phase of growth.
Maybe just a real vacation.

But they're trapped in what they built.

I know the feeling. I'd spent 25 years systematizing Fortune 500 operations while my own life was chaos.

I rebuilt. Now I build the systems that liberate founders.

---

WHAT I BRING:

→ Fortune 500 Operations Leadership
→ $50-80M in captured value through process optimization
→ UPenn Computer Science + Carnegie Mellon MBA
→ AI/analytics fluency
→ Entrepreneurial reality (I've lived the 80-hour weeks)

---

I WORK WITH:

→ $3-15M service business founders who can't step away
→ Family businesses navigating succession or next-gen leadership
→ Companies preparing for exit who need operational independence

---

WHAT LIBERATION UNLOCKS:

→ Time Wealth: Sovereignty over your calendar again
→ Financial Wealth: Capacity to build what's next
→ Impact Wealth: Your team owns outcomes without you
→ Relational Wealth: Space for the relationships that matter
→ Identity Wealth: From trapped operator to strategic builder

---

THE APPROACH:

Fortune 500 precision adapted for entrepreneurial speed — one constraint at a time.

I don't do cookie-cutter frameworks that overwhelm already-busy founders. I do surgical intervention that creates quick wins and builds belief.

---

Liberation isn't the destination — it's the starting line.

What would you chase with your freedom?

🎙️ Host, The Corvus Effect Podcast — conversations with leaders who've mastered operational excellence without sacrificing their sanity.

My word for 2026: Chase. 

I used to shy away from that word. 

Then I heard Matthew McConaughey describe how he's always chasing a version of himself 10 years out — one he'll never catch. 

And that's the point. 

The chase creates the attraction. 

What are you chasing this year?

Operational Excellence | Fractional & Interim COO | Transformation Leadership | Fortune 500 Precision | Entrepreneurial Speed

The path to your breakthrough isn't linear.

Three steps forward.
Two steps back.
One sideways pivot.

That's not failure.
That's how transformation actually works.

Strategic builders embrace the mess.
Trapped operators demand the straight line.

Which one are you chasing?

Fractional COO | Your Partner in Operational Freedom and Business Worth

Your business should give you more life, not consume it.

Hi, I'm Scott. I help founders create businesses that thrive without them.

You built your business for freedom, but somewhere along the way, it became a sophisticated prison where you're the indispensable warden.

In 2017, I learned this the hard way. Hospital bed. Blood pressure at stroke levels. That moment changed everything - from being operations' prisoner to becoming its architect.

What I Do:

As a Fractional COO, I help founders build operational independence using The Corvus Methodology™.

Think of it as designing your escape from operational overwhelm. We don't improve your prison - we architect your freedom.

My Approach:

The Corvus Methodology™ produces operational independence architecture built on genuine leadership principles.

• Assess → Surgical precision diagnostic that reveals specific operational dependency patterns
• Architect → Custom liberation blueprint that amplifies team strengths rather than forcing conformity
• Implement → Progressive empowerment that creates genuinely autonomous decision-makers

When systems align with your team's natural energy and strengths, that's when real freedom becomes possible.

What This Gives You -- The Six Dimensions of Freedom:

• Time Sovereignty: Reclaim 20+ hours weekly for strategic focus
• Decision Liberation: 70% fewer decisions requiring your input
• Operational Independence: Systems that run brilliantly without you
• Team Empowerment: People who think ownership, not employment
• Strategic Focus: Elevate from firefighting to visionary leadership
• Life Integration: Success that enhances rather than consumes your life

Why I Do What I Do:

I've generated tens of millions in value and still faced the gap between worth and recognition. Now I help founders resolve this same dissonance - creating environments where excellence is finally reflected in both freedom and compensation.

Your business exists to enhance your life. Everything else is just sophisticated busy work.

Financial wealth matters. 

But it's not the only kind. 
→ Time wealth: Sovereignty over your calendar 
→ Impact wealth: Your mark on the world 
→ Relational wealth: Sharing success with those who matter 
→ Identity wealth: Becoming who you're meant to be 

Liberation unlocks creation. 

Which wealth are you chasing?
