AI-Enabled Ops. Transformation | M&A Integration | Lean Execution
I help operationally complex businesses reduce manual work, improve visibility, and execute faster by combining Lean operations, KPI discipline, and practical AI workflow automation.
Not from a boardroom. From the floor.
I help teams:
- clarify priorities, ownership, and operating rhythm
- expose bottlenecks through KPI dashboards and workflow mapping
- automate repetitive work using practical AI tools
- turn scattered execution into a repeatable operating system

How I get up to speed fast
Most operators spend months learning a business.
As I gather inputs — interviews, data, and on-the-ground observation — I track what’s clear, what’s missing, and where things conflict using an Operator ramp system (AI).
Selected Operating Work
Four examples of stepping into unstable conditions, focusing on the real constraint, and restoring operating control.
Asset Portfolio Recovery | $25M P&L
Merger stabilization & operational overhaul
Industrial Turnaround | $25M Manufacturing Site
Post-acquisition recovery & stabilization
Saving the Integration | Covid
$8M assembly acquisition | ERP cutover and supply continuity
Regulatory Discipline | NIOSH Helmet
COVID demand spike | Life-safety certification risk
Automation I’ve Deployed (using AI)
Built automation to reduce manual review burden.
n8n & Cursor | API & OCR
Scalable vendor screening & bottleneck removal
~$2M in vendor fraud exposure.
Thousands of invoices required manual review, slowing the team down.
Extract key data from incoming invoices using OCR
Categorize vendor risk and flag anomalies
Auto-clear low-risk invoices and route exceptions for review using AI
Significant reduction in manual workload
Earlier detection of high-risk vendors
More consistent and repeatable invoice review process
Autonomous Life-Stack: Project TODO.
The M&A Integration Playbook
Stabilize. Systematize. Scale.
I help organizations turn high-stakes transitions—founder exits, ERP cutovers, and operational resets—into structured, manageable execution through a repeatable, battle-tested playbook.
