Operating partner

Three ways in, depending on where you are

For CEOs and founders whose operating model is holding the business back. Most work starts with the diagnostic and continues into one of the others.

  • Weeks

    Diagnostic & plan

    A focused look at how work actually moves: decisions, handoffs, where the numbers break and who everything waits for. Ends in a sequenced plan with owners.

  • A defined build

    Build: process or AI adoption

    Processes defined and built into the daily work, or AI adoption run as two parallel tracks. Your team does the work alongside me.

  • Months

    Fractional COO or Chief of Staff

    I run the operating side part-time for a defined period, and hand it over to a permanent owner.

Board member / Chair

A board seat with operating experience behind it

I read the pack for what it says about execution, not only outcomes: the priorities that drift, the initiatives green for too long, the question management cannot answer in the meeting. And I help boards govern AI rather than just ask about it.

Open to board and chair roles, most relevant in logistics, fintech and financial services, real estate and administrative services.

When the work needs more hands

Reify is me. When the work needs more hands than one person, I draw on Numa, a collective network of ex-MBB consultants. You get one accountable lead and the right people around the problem, without a firm’s pyramid.

If any of this sounds like your business

A short conversation first.

Thirty minutes, no deck and no pitch. An honest read on what is actually in the way, and whether I am the right person to help move it.
