Let’s build your new state
Hi. I’m Mike and this is my shop. I sell fix-it services for things like processes and systems — aka “operations.”
My client is anyone whose operational conditions are limiting their strategic aspirations. That includes SMB owners, startup founders, functional directors, or executives, but isn’t limited to those groups.
