ABOUT WOOD
I build companies from the inside out, connecting strategy to execution through people, process, and performance.My leadership foundation was forged in the U.S. Navy, where I learned that precision, accountability, and adaptability win under pressure. Since then, I’ve led global operations for Target and Petco, scaled high-growth brands like FabFitFun from $100M to $500M+, and transformed Uncommon James from a founder-run startup into a multi-category, profitable enterprise.Today, I serve as COO at Allegiance Flag Supply, an American manufacturer dedicated to craftsmanship, culture, and operational excellence. My focus is the same across every business: create clarity, build systems that scale, and drive profitability without sacrificing people or purpose.I’m drawn to organizations where growth and discipline coexist whether it’s a founder-led brand finding its next gear, a PE-backed company ready for operational maturity, or an established enterprise in need of transformation.
