Harness compounding leverage to achieve your financial-growth objectives.

• Business consulting for privately held, owner-led B2B and B2G companies
• Practice based in Washington, DC, with a regional focus


Most effort doesn’t compound. That’s the problem.

You’re working hard. Your team is working hard. But growth doesn’t match the effort you’re putting in.

The mismatch is frustrating, and the pattern is common. Owner-operators try the obvious moves: more sales activity, better marketing, new hires, process improvements. Sometimes these moves help, but often they don’t. And even when they work, the gains disappear the moment you stop pushing.

The reason is that most effort goes into moves that yield linear returns. You push, you get results. You stop pushing, the results stop. Nothing accumulates, and nothing builds on itself.

Compounding leverage is different. Compounding leverage means finding the few moves where effort converts into structural advantage, where progress makes future progress easier, where the system starts working for you instead of requiring constant energy to maintain.

Most businesses don’t know where their compounding leverage actually exists. They’re too close to the system to see it.


I find where compounding leverage exists and help you capture it.

I work with owner-led B2B and B2G businesses with less than $100M in annual revenue.

My approach starts with diagnosis, not prescription. I look for the structural conditions shaping your outcomes, not the symptoms you’re already aware of. The goal is to identify the most efficient and complementary moves to produce disproportionate and durable results.

My approach isn’t framework consulting but rather a growth logic that represents a fundamentally different way of seeing your business. There are no decks and no generic playbooks. I work directly with owners on the specific constraints and opportunities in their business.

When GenAI can remove a bottleneck, I use it. When it can’t, I don’t pretend otherwise.


My perspective comes from operating inside businesses, not just advising them.

My career has spanned consulting, senior operating roles at market-leading companies, and entrepreneurship. I’ve led growth initiatives inside large organizations and advised business leaders navigating the complexity that accompanies growth.

This operating experience shapes how I see problems. I learned the hard way that activity and leverage are not the same thing. Most effort is noise. Finding the few interventions that actually compound is what separates businesses that scale from businesses that stall.

I focus on leverage because I’ve seen how much effort gets wasted without it.


If growth feels harder than it should be, let’s find a time to talk.

We start by defining the problem together. Where are you now, and where do you want to be in the not-too-distant future? That gap represents the problem we seek to solve. Then we look for where compounding leverage might exist to close it.

If there’s a fit, we scope the work and get started. If there isn’t a fit, you’ll still walk away with a clearer view of what’s actually in the way of your growth.

Why Most Business Frameworks Fail

Every business leader has a shelf of strategy books. They’ve read the frameworks. They’ve attended the workshops. They’ve implemented the systems. And most of the advice hasn’t worked the way the books promised.
