Senior partners in the CFO seat for $20M–$500M operating businesses navigating the next twelve months — a transaction, an exit, an integration, a turnaround. We do the work, not the slide deck about the work.
Most engagements braid two to four. Industry context dictates which.
Each partner owns the industries they've spent a career inside — and only those. We don't sell what we haven't run.
Two-decade operator. 50+ DTC and CPG engagements including a dozen sell-side processes. Scaled brands through Shopify Plus, retail expansion, and inventory-led growth pressure tests. Leads the consumer practice and exit-prep across $20–$100M operating brands.

Capital markets and M&A background. Multi-unit specialist — hotel groups, dental and medical DSOs, real-estate operating cos, professional services firms, construction platforms. Leads sell-side processes and roll-up sequencing where unit economics are the deal. RevPAR, same-store and unit-economics rebuilds.

Leads resources (oil & gas, mining), consumer (CPG, DTC) and creative agencies in cyclical environments. Specializes in buy-side diligence and distressed-process M&A.
Tech executive with 15+ years in transformation and IT strategy, now operating as a fractional CIO.

Brings the AI and agentic-operations practice to where the operating stack actually runs — oil & gas, construction, real estate and professional services.
"We hired Matt for a 90-day diligence sprint and he was still in the seat eighteen months later — through the LOI, the QoE, two earn-out renegotiations, and the close. The work showed up the way it was sold: a senior operator in the seat, not a deck about the seat."Read the case $45M CPG brand · sold to strategic, 2025
