Operator’s Edge

We help small to medium-sized businesses reach their full potential through boots-on-the-ground consulting.

We are not theorists or MBAs handing out pre-packaged advice packed with trendy buzz-words.

If you are looking for a flashy name to stamp on your strategy and validate it -

we are not the right choice.

If you want practical, actionable support from veterans who have been there - we guarantee a serious impact.

Like you, we are operators with hands-on experience.

We know what it's like to have skin in the game.

That’s the Operator’s Edge.

"Without owning something over an extended period of time, like a few years, where one has a chance to take responsibility for one's recommendations, where one has to see one's recommendations through all action stages, and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes, and pick oneself up off the ground, and dust oneself off, one learns a fraction of what one can. You're coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results.“

– Steve Jobs

“. . . the MBA-ization of America, which I think is maybe not that great, there should be more focus on the product; or service, less time on board meetings, less time on financials, ..., PowerPoint presentations, and more time on the factory floor, and customers.”

— Elon Musk
