Fractional VP Operations / COO | Scaling, Restructuring & Cash Flow Stabilization

11 yrs experience · Long Beach, CA · <10 hrs/week

About

I’m a fractional and interim operations leader helping owner-led and PE-backed businesses stabilize cash flow, reduce operating costs, and bring structure to complex, multi-site operations. I step in when companies are growing quickly, restructuring, integrating acquisitions, or experiencing leadership gaps. My background spans logistics, field services, warehousing, manufacturing, and regulated environments, with hands-on P&L ownership from $20M to $185M. Clients bring me in to clean up operations, implement forecasting discipline, renegotiate vendors, standardize execution across locations, and create clear KPIs that leadership teams can actually use. I’m highly execution-oriented and comfortable operating inside ambiguity, time pressure, and change. Engagements are typically short-term, fractional, or interim, with a focus on rapid diagnosis, tangible improvement, and a clean handoff to internal teams once stability and cadence are restored.
