Turn strategy into results.
I help owners and CEOs make better decisions, align their teams, and grow more profitably.
Practical advice from someone who's been in the seat.
I’ve led businesses from entrepreneurial startups to national organizations with hundreds of millions in annual sales. A few of the results:
You know where the company needs to go. The challenge is getting the organization there.
For some companies, that gap shows up as stalled growth, a team that isn't aligned, or a founder holding too much together. For others, the business is performing well, and the question is what it will take to reach the next level. Either way, closing the gap rarely comes down to a lack of ideas. It comes down to clear priorities, a leadership team that owns the plan, and consistent follow-through. Done well, the result is a business that doesn't depend on you for every decision. That's where I help.
Leadership is challenging. Don't face it alone.
Hear directly from someone who's been in your shoes—leading businesses through growth, change, and difficult decisions.
Where are you today?
An experienced operator in your corner.
I've been the entrepreneur, the owner, the CEO, the COO, and the President. During the Great Recession, I invested in and co-led a startup that reached $14M in sales in its first year. I led a founder-led company through its transition to professional management and helped turn money-losing businesses into profitable ones. Along the way I made my share of mistakes and learned from them the hard way.
Today, I bring those lessons to leaders facing challenges I've seen before.

Most engagements move through four stages. And it always starts the same way: I talk with your leadership team, not just with you.

What it's like to have Jim in your corner
He ranks among the top tier of CEOs I've worked with. Any CEO who works with Jim will get an advisor who has done the job and knows how to help others do it well.
Within 5 years, my company was awarded Builder of the Year… That level of success would not have been possible without Jim’s thoughtful guidance.
He recognized that my experience and capabilities extended beyond my role at the time and provided me with an opportunity to contribute in a broader operational leadership capacity as the COO.
What you are getting with Jim is a proven enterprise CEO as your coach who won't ask you to do anything he hasn't done himself.
I work with a limited number of clients so every engagement gets real preparation, access, continuity, and personal attention. My advisory clients typically lead companies with roughly $10 million to $200 million in revenue. Executive coaching clients come from companies of every size. What matters most is the fit.
Let's talk about where your company is headed.
A first conversation is just that: a candid discussion about your business and whether I can help.
