What I Do...

Fractional COO Leadership for Tech-Enabled Service & Manufacturing Companies.

When growth outpaces structure, even great founders can hit a wall … That’s where I come in.

I help $1–15M technical and manufacturing companies install the operational backbone they need to scale — without losing the energy and culture that made them successful.

You’ll gain:

✅ Clear operating systems and accountability rhythms

✅ Real goal visibility and performance tracking

✅ Confident leadership alignment

✅ Founder freedom — less firefighting, more leading

My Approach — Scale-with-Soul™

Operational Clarity Without Corporate Bureaucracy

I combine two worlds:

  • The hands-on realism of growing up in a small family plastics manufacturing business

  • The structured discipline of leading divisions inside a major corporation

This blend lets me design systems that fit your company’s size, speed, and DNA — not someone else’s playbook.

Result: A company that runs smoother, scales faster, and stays true to its roots.

The Signs You’re Ready for a Fractional COO

If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to talk:

  • You’re scaling revenue but breaking operations

  • You rely too heavily on the founder to keep things moving

  • Your team is busy, but not always aligned

  • You need better visibility into performance and profit

  • You’ve outgrown spreadsheets, but not ready for full-time executives

What Clients Say

Dave has been immeasurable in the success of our start up restaurant. He was gracious enough to provide guidance on positioning ourselves in the current market, helping us bring our "WHY" to life and taking our messy, jumbled ideas for a website and turning them into a beautiful masterpiece that highlights our values, mission and goals. His genuine concern and care for his clients is unparalleled. We highly recommend Dave as a person, a partner, a coach and an advisor!
Kristina Hagemann Program Director
In my 20 years of consulting I have yet to come across a consultant who combines the action and system orientation together like Dave. He is able to see the complexity of a situation, break it down to pinpoint root causes to challenges, create a solution that will work AND create excitement and motivation with all team members to work together at the same time. If your manufacturing company wants to scale to #1 and have more than a single great product but a company that is able to consistently produce superior products - he is the one you need to call.
Betsy Jordyn Business Mentor | Brand Positioning & Messaging Specialst
Often, as entrepreneurs, we become so involved in our own ideas and speculations, that we do not realize or even consider how our mindsets and actions may be holding us back from reaching our full potential. Dave has the intuitive ability and life experience that allow him to assist us in thinking outside the boxes we develop for ourselves, and therefore produce more visions to be successful and satisfied in our endeavors.
