The execution layer for owners: we diagnose, plan, build the model, and stay through the work.
Who this is for
The next step is not obvious, and picking wrong is expensive.
Owner-operated companies and well-capitalized startups. We diagnose, plan, decide with you, then execute.
Revenue moved. The way you run did not.
The person who held it together is gone.
The company has to run without you, and prove it.
The plan is right. Nobody is carrying it.
What it looks like when it works
a year in doctor time back, across the practice. A 56-staff women’s health practice whose charting system had stalled. We put out the fires before we asked whether the system was still the right one.
Ten hours of doctor time a day, at a $500,000 physician salary, over 250 working days.
Read the casehours a week back on production planning. A $100M annual revenue fruit processor whose ERP had not worked right for five years.
Read the casea year in discounts and promotions slipping through, unaccounted for, at a multi-location manufacturer and CPG company.

If the report doesn’t show at least $5,000 a year in profit you can recover, you get the $5,000 back.
A strategic read of how the business runs. The Profit Acceleration Report names what is leaking, what each leak is worth, and what to fix first.
Includes an AI readiness analysis: where AI tools and systems can improve the business first.

Not enough revenue at the top, or revenue that never reaches the bottom. We find which, find why, and rebuild what leaks until it holds.

Too many apps and vendors, and nobody on the scorecard. We take that seat: one plan, one monthly scorecard, and vendors who answer to someone who speaks their language and yours.

We find where AI actually pays, write the plan, and build what should ship into the work your people already do. Not a tool tour.

Someone in the seat after the work is done. A named principal, month to month, keeping the plan, the reviews and the vendors running.

What they say
“Elliot brings energy, follow-through, and accountability to every stage of a deal. He doesn’t wait to be told what to do; he anticipates needs, solves problems quickly, and keeps momentum moving forward. He operates with a strong ethical foundation and consistently prioritizes transparency and doing right by partners.”
“John lent his experience and provided critical guidance when Frontier chose to modernize our infrastructure, move critical workflows to the cloud, and leverage both internal and external IT support resources. He also proved to be an effective facilitator of quality communication between our IT staff and our C-suite.”
“He has a rare ability to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and bottom line growth. His strategic mindset and dedication to execution make him an invaluable asset to any organization.”
“In the time that I’ve known John, I’ve been impressed with the depth of his expertise. He is an experienced technology and telecom executive who has been able to lend his talents to Board governance and has international experience to round it all out.”
“John helped Naveego acquire top technical talent during our start-up phase. He maintains an excellent network of business and technical talent who can hit the ground running. I was impressed.”
“For the past 17 years, I have known John to be honest, trustworthy and a consummate professional. John will apply his wide range of experience to conform to the needs of each individual client.”
“John was my CIO at One2One and then later at Etisalat Nigeria. He did a great job in both places. He provided me with great counsel and I trusted him completely. He has real leadership skills and the ability to bring together teams of diverse individuals and nationalities. He is a great communicator and has the ability to connect with all levels in the organisation and to find out what is really happening.”
“Elliot and I worked together over the last decade. Confidently, I can say that it wouldn’t be half as successful without his involvement. I’m speaking from both an enterprise and a personal development standpoint. The skills I learned first-hand working with Elliot taught me how to adapt and build sustainable systems that scaled with our investments. Elliot doesn’t teach; he leads by example. Watching him work for results is a masterclass in persistence powered by his relentless curiosity.”
