The focus throughout has been repeatable margin expansion, cash discipline, and building systems that scale.Led cross‑functional teams spanning product, sourcing, sales, operations, and finance. Expanded distribution from a regional footprint to 10 national retail accounts across doors, while improving inventory turns and working capital efficiency.Executed and integrated brand acquisitions, scaling portfolio revenue to ~$7M and unlocking ~$500K in working capital. I tend to engage where long‑term enterprise value is created through operational leverage, disciplined execution, and durable EBITDA growth.Open to HQ‑based or sponsor‑led operating roles; travel and relocation considered for the right mandate.
