We help private equity firms, and operators unlock measurable EBITDA improvement in 60–120 days through focused execution.

What we do

We work with businesses where performance is constrained by execution—not strategy.

Typical situations include:  


- Capacity constraints limiting growth  

 - Margin compression from operational inefficiency   

- Disorganized production and planning systems  

 - Inventory and working capital drag  

 - Post-acquisition performance gaps    

These are not long-term transformation problems.  They are execution gaps that can be fixed with the right intervention.

How we create value

We identify the primary constraint limiting performance and focus on removing it quickly.

This typically involves:  


- Throughput and flow optimization   

- Production and scheduling alignment   

- Labor productivity improvements   

- Inventory and working capital reduction   

- Implementation of simple, scalable execution systems  

Where applicable, we incorporate targeted AI tools in planning, scheduling, and execution to accelerate results.  


The objective is always the same:  


Convert operational inefficiency into measurable financial improvement.

Engagement model

We do not operate as a traditional consultant. We focus on engagements tied to specific outcomes.

Typical model:


- Define a clear operational constraint  

- Execute within a 60–120 day window   

- Deliver measurable improvement   

- Transition ownership back to the team   

  Compensation is structured around impact, often including performance-based elements.  


If there is no path to measurable value creation, I'm not the right fit.

Typical Impact within the first 90-180 days

15-30% throughput increase

 

20-40% Lead time reduction

300-800 basis point EBITDA margin improvement

Meaningful working capital release

who we work with

Best suited for:


- Lower middle market private equity firms   

- Independent sponsors   

- Search fund operators   

- Founder or family office-owned industrial businesses undergoing transition    

Typically businesses in the $1M–$10M EBITDA range.
