Fractional COO & Execution Partner for $10M–$100M Companies
I drop in, take ownership, and deliver the outcome. Not a plan for someone else to execute. If you have a critical initiative, a real deadline, and no patience for another strategy meeting, this is the conversation.
In 30 minutes, I'll identify the gap, define the path, and deliver. No pitch. No deck.
15 years operating inside organizations like these
Most consultants tell you what to do. I do it with you.
There is a difference, and you will feel it on day one. Ask the teams at HCSC, Stellantis, or Ripit what that looked like.
Right fit
Not the right fit
You have a priority that matters. It has its own Slack channel, its own project plan, and its own recurring meeting. Six months later, nothing has shipped.
The right hire is six months out. The executive search is active. The deadline is not waiting. And this is not something you can manage on top of everything else you are running.
You have the strategy. You have the business case. You have executive alignment. What you do not have is someone who will own the outcome and not hand it back.
I have spent 15 years operating inside Fortune 100 companies and high-growth platforms: HCSC, Chrysler, Ford, State Farm, and the Logan Paul collective. Not advising. Operating. Running programs that could not fail, on timelines that could not move.
I have been the person accountable when the stakes were real and there was no room to be wrong. That is the operating instinct I bring to your initiative.
The company changes. The technology changes. The stakes do not. I only take on work where the mission is critical, the mandate is clear, and execution matters. When I am in, I am fully in.
For the leader who is not sure where the problem actually lives.
You get 30 days and a direct diagnosis. We map every constraint, surface every hidden blocker, and build a prioritized action plan you can execute the week we wrap. No fluff. No 80-page report.
For the CEO with one critical initiative that cannot fail.
I take full operational ownership: scope, schedule, team coordination, stakeholder communication, and delivery. I do not manage from a distance. I am embedded in the work with your team until it is done.
For the operator who needs a fractional COO, not another vendor.
Ongoing operating partnership. I work across your highest-priority initiatives: systems, team structure, process, execution velocity. Available to your team as if I were on staff. Without the full-time cost or the 3-month search.
Not sure which fits? . I will tell you in the first 15 minutes.
in documented cost savings
HCSC / Blue Cross Blue Shield

marketplace platform built and launched
Ripit / Logan Paul
Ripit needed to build the full operational and marketing infrastructure for a collectible card marketplace platform: loyalty program architecture, compliance documentation, email marketing systems, shipping logistics for non-contiguous US markets, platform tooling, and legal framework. Coordinated across product, design, marketing, legal, and finance simultaneously. Platform launched and live to the public.
GA launch delivered, fully integrated platform
Alvaria / Zoom
Alvaria needed to integrate their enterprise contact center platform with Zoom and take the combined product to general availability. Built the integrated project plan, led cross-functional alignment across product, design, finance, and marketing, and drove the full GA launch from planning through delivery. Launched on schedule.

"Adam brings peace to environments that might otherwise seem chaotic. He peers around the corner, identifies problems before they materialize, and implements the solution before you know you needed one. A true visionary and a rare leader."
"Adam builds an airtight business case that is both strategic and tactical. He is a rare breed who is equally technical and a skilled communicator. Where others see problems, Adam sees a solution and a path to execute. Steady under the highest-pressure scenarios."
"Adam has a rare combination of IQ and EQ. He is as process-driven and analytical as he is personable and client-centric. An immensely valuable thought partner."
I do not subcontract. I do not staff your initiative with analysts who need managing. You get 15 years of operating experience, direct access to me, and accountability for the outcome. That is a different conversation than what a consulting firm offers.
I have run inside the organizations you lead. I understand the political reality, the resource constraints, and the deadline pressure that strategy consultants advise around and operators work within. I work within them.
We talk about the initiative, the constraints, and what you have already tried. I will have a diagnosis by the end of the call. No prep required on your end.
If your situation is one I can solve, I will tell you which engagement fits and what it looks like in practice. If it is not the right fit, I will tell you that too and point you toward someone who can help. No pressure. No follow-up deck.
Contracts are one page. Timelines are real. I drop in on day one and we start moving.
You get me, not a team of analysts managed by someone you met once. I am on the work every day. The difference is accountability and proximity, and you will feel it in the first week.
I run a small practice by design. If I cannot clearly diagnose your problem and a path forward in 30 minutes, you have not wasted your time. You have learned something.
