About Jeremy Brown

Duke MBA and operations leader with 15+ years of experience bringing clarity and operational discipline to growing businesses that are moving fast, outgrowing their systems, and need someone who can build what\'s next while keeping what works. I do best in messy operating environments where the business needs clarity fast: what matters most, who owns what, how progress gets tracked, and what cadence keeps the team aligned. I specialize in fixing broken processes, scaling teams, and improving margins through practical changes to pricing, workflow, and operating rhythm. Over more than a decade of direct leadership, I have built and developed high-performing teams and the leaders within them. My background spans Fortune 100 rigor (Liberty Mutual) and the lived reality of small business ownership as Co-Founder and Director of Operations at Rally Cap Brewing. That combination lets me operate comfortably across levels, from frontline execution to the executive table. At Ochsner Health, I am leading a cross-functional team to bring structure to internal innovation, aligning stakeholders and building the processes that connect innovators with the guidance and resources they need. By the numbers-$1M+ revenue scale achieved as Co-Founder/Director of Ops at Rally Cap Brewing-+30% year-over-year distribution revenue growth driven by a strategic partner transition-+8 points improvement in operating profit delivered at Search Influence through pricing restructuring and process improvement- Led 50+ across frontline and managers in high-volume operational environments If you lead or advise a business in the $5M to $50M range that is ready to tighten execution, improve margins, and build the operating rhythm needed to scale, I would like to talk.
