Case studies

Engagements, in plain English.

Six recent engagements that capture the range — a manufacturer's operating turnaround, a SaaS strategy sprint, a private-equity-backed restructure. Full case studies (briefs, the messy bits) on request.

Northbrook Industrial team in a strategy session
Operating fix-it

Northbrook Industrial — 11-week operating turnaround

A 240-person specialty-chemicals manufacturer was missing quarterly forecasts six quarters running. We rebuilt the S&OP cadence, the forecasting model, and the leadership team's weekly rhythm.

Strategy sprint

Cedar Lane Software — 4-week strategy reset

A bootstrapped vertical-SaaS at $12M ARR needed to decide whether to raise, sell, or stay private. We built three scenarios with the founders and helped them choose the third — with a clear plan.

ARR $12M $18M (12 months later) · No outside capital
Westhart Capital partners reviewing portfolio company plans
PE-backed

Westhart Capital — 100-day plan, two portfolio cos

Embedded with the operating team at a lower-middle-market PE fund for two consecutive 100-day plans. Restructured the leadership shape at both portfolio companies and aligned the comp plans to the value-creation thesis.

Founder advisory

Helio Botanicals — 26 months of monthly advisory

A DTC supplements brand grew from $3M to $18M ARR over the engagement. We held the CEO seat alongside the founder for two structured calls a month, plus async.

Avalon Logistics — pricing & segmentation reset

A regional freight broker had drifted into 47 customer segments with bespoke pricing for each. We collapsed it to 6 tiers, retrained the sales team, and rebuilt the quoting tool.

Gross margin: 14.2% 19.8% in two quarters
Greenline Bio operating team in a working session
Operating fix-it

Greenline Bio — leadership team restructure

A 90-person biotech CRO had three leadership functions reporting into the founder. We helped the founder hire a COO and reshape the leadership cadence over a 12-week engagement.
