Practice

Five pillars of value creation

Diagnosis, plan, and execution across the cost, commercial, operational, and technology levers that move EBITDA and enterprise value.

01

Procurement & Supply Chain Value Creation

Attack cost and free margin across the business or portfolio. The deepest credential in the practice.

  • Direct and indirect spend diagnostics
  • Category sourcing, RFP leadership, and supplier renegotiation
  • Group purchasing leverage and contract consolidation
  • Supply chain and logistics cost-out
  • Working capital and payment terms optimization

Proof

Procurement value-creation programs across 20+ middle-market and portfolio companies, spanning category sourcing through commercial diligence.

02

Benefits Design & Optimization

Employee benefits as a controllable cost category and EBITDA lever — licensed work most operating advisors do not hold. Tied to the cost-out discipline in procurement.

  • Plan design, funding structure, and carrier / PBM audit
  • Stop-loss, captives, and multi-company aggregation
  • Renewal defense and broker / vendor realignment
  • Benefits diligence for acquisitions and add-ons

Proof

Licensed benefits practice delivering plan redesign and renewal savings without degrading employee coverage.

03

Commercial Transformation & Growth

The revenue side of value creation — go-to-market, commercial excellence, and strategic channel build.

  • Pricing, packaging, and margin leakage
  • Sales org structure, coverage, and pipeline discipline
  • Channel and partner GTM buildout
  • Customer retention, expansion, and account economics

Proof

Built and scaled middle-market commercial channels across multi-company buyer networks.

04

Operational Strategy & Value Creation

Make the business run better and hold the gains — operating model, rhythm, and accountability.

  • 100-day and annual value-creation plans
  • KPI architecture and weekly / monthly operating cadence
  • Post-close and add-on integration
  • Org design, role clarity, and execution governance

How growth & capital allocation are chosen

Growth isn’t a separate strategy deck—it’s a capital-allocation decision once the core operating constraint is clear. Before adding headcount, taking on outside capital, or pursuing an acquisition, we force a clean choice across three paths—and hand the winner right back into the three-bet operating cadence:

  • 01 · Fix it ourselves: Re-price, re-sequence, or re-staff using internal cash flow when the constraint is inside the existing walls.
  • 02 · Borrow distribution: Partner, license, or structure a channel when the product works cleanly and the bottleneck is reach.
  • 03 · Borrow capital or capability: Acquire, merge, or bring in an aligned capital partner when time-to-build exceeds the market window.
05

Applied AI, Data & Technology

Practical systems, data, and AI that move unit economics — not lab projects.

  • Workflow automation in back-office, ops, and commercial functions
  • Reporting, data hygiene, and decision visibility
  • Vendor / stack rationalization and build-vs-buy discipline
  • Scoped AI deployments tied to measurable cycle-time or cost outcomes

Proof

Production workflows and reporting deployed against concrete cost and throughput targets.
