What’s the next
obvious step?

Clarity is useful. Execution is what changes the business. I work across strategy, operations, people, and systems to find what matters—and what to do about it.

START WITH THE QUESTION →
How I work

A generalist by design. Deep expertise where it counts.

More than fifteen years in management consulting, combined with hands-on experience building and operating businesses. My work connects analysis to decisions, decisions to accountable execution, and execution to measurable outcomes.

Workforce & resource management

Staffing models, workforce planning, scheduling, capacity, utilization, and the operational systems that support people and performance.

Operations & execution

Management operating systems, process improvement, accountability, measurement, and practical implementation—not recommendations that collect dust.

Business building & growth

Startups, operating models, partnerships, feasibility, and the choices required to move an idea into an operating business.

Cross-border perspective

Professional experience across the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Brazil, connecting business realities across teams, markets, and cultures.

Beyond the slide deck

I advise businesses. I also operate them.

Through StayWithJay, StudioHaus, and CatalystWin, I work with the same questions founders and operators face: Where should resources go? What is the actual constraint? What can we test now? What will the numbers tell us?

That operator’s perspective is part of the consulting approach: practical tradeoffs, ownership, and follow-through.
