Systemic Operational Governance for Brands in High-Stakes Transitions
The Tactical Operator

From scaling brands like Birdhouse Skateboards to providing guidance to breakout growth stories like Sezzle, I provide the 'founder-first' intuition required to professionalize an organization for its next high-stakes transition.
