Fixing Your Business Before it Fixes You

Let’s be honest: most businesses don’t run — they lurch forward powered by heroic effort, gut instinct, and a half-functioning Google Sheet. That works… until it doesn’t.

👋 Who I Am

I’m a management consultant with 25 years of Fortune 500 and Startup experience in the one thing most companies avoid until it’s almost too late: business process re-engineering.

I don’t sell dreams. I sell structure, systems, and sane ways to run a company — whether you’re:

• A post-startup founder drowning in hats and desperately needing process before you throttle your own growth, or
• A mature business that’s out of rocket fuel and needs to cut costs, streamline operations, and reclaim profitability in a world that no longer gives out participation trophies.

🛠 What I Do

I help business owners do something revolutionary:
run their company like a business instead of a 24/7 panic room.

Two types of clients come to Eliv8:

1. 🚀 Post-Startup Chaos Survivors

You’ve made it past the early days — congratulations. You have customers, revenue, maybe even an employee or three. But behind the scenes? It’s duct tape, crossed fingers, and you doing everything from negotiating contracts to unclogging the Keurig.

What you need:
• Clear org structure
• Repeatable processes
• Systems that don’t fall apart when you leave the room

2. 🏭 Mature Companies With No Room Left to Grow

Growth was great. Now it’s flatlined. The competition’s leaner, your costs are ballooning, and you’re squeezing out profits like the last bit of toothpaste.

What you need:
• Operational efficiency
• Strategic cost cutting
• Process redesign that actually sticks

⚙️ How it Works

No binders. No 200-slide decks. No interns in skinny suits pretending to understand your industry.

Here’s what you’ll get:
• Brutally honest diagnostics
• Tangible fixes that reduce chaos and increase margin
• A consultant who’s been in the trenches — and still returns your calls

🤝 Why Work With Me?

Because you don’t need “consulting theater.”
You need someone who:
• Can spot waste a mile away
• Speaks fluent founder, ops, and finance
• Can turn your business from panic-driven to process-driven

And let’s be honest — no one’s coming to save you. But I can show you how to save yourself.
