Built by operators, for operators.
Five acquisitions. Multiple PE exits. Full P&L ownership across software, hardware, and services.

Diagnostics & Blueprints
The work sits in the middle.
Strategy and execution are usually managed separately. They shouldn't be.
A forecast problem is rarely just a pipeline problem. It's a segmentation, pricing, compensation, product readiness, or customer handoff problem. A service-level problem is rarely just a staffing problem. It's a routing, QA, vendor management, training, or demand planning problem. A growth problem is rarely just a sales problem. It's an operating system problem.
CPD works at the connection points — where revenue strategy, service delivery, customer experience, and accountability meet. The places where good companies turn ambition into something the team can actually execute.
Not slides. Not theory. Operating mechanisms that hold up under pressure.

15+ years building and scaling operations, revenue, and go-to-market organizations across software, hardware, and field services businesses. Five acquisitions. Multiple PE exits. Full P&L ownership.
Came up through revenue leadership, took on operations at scale, and learned that the hardest business problems rarely sit cleanly inside one function. CPD Operating Group is built on what that experience taught me.

Let's talk.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation. No deck, no pitch — a working call to understand the problem and figure out whether we're the right fit.
