Embedded Operating Partner & COO-Adjacent Execution Leader for PE- & VC-Backed SaaS Companies during periods of growth, integration, and transition. Michael helps PE- and VC-backed, founder-led companies convert growth into predictable, board-ready execution.
Michael does not run marketing, sales, or operations functions. Instead, he builds the execution infrastructure underneath them – operating cadence, decision rights, escalation paths, and board-level signal – enabling leadership teams to execute with clarity, foresight, and speed as complexity increases.
His role is explicitly COO-adjacent: professionalizing execution without stripping speed, ownership, or culture.
His approach is repeatable by design and deployable across portfolios, not bespoke to individual companies. Typical engagements stabilize execution signal quality and decision cadence within the first 90 days, reducing surprises and improving decision velocity at both leadership and board levels.
Michael regularly partners with CEOs, COOs, boards, and investors during periods of rapid growth, integration, or transition, serving as an embedded Operating Partner, interim COO / SVP of Execution, or venture studio Operator-in-Residence.
Execution requires individuals rather than systems. Leadership lacks visibility into risk.
Multiple companies, inconsistent execution, and limited board-level insight.
Decisions rely on anecdotes instead of dashboards. Problems surface too late.
Ongoing execution system design across multiple assets
3–12 month rotations inside companies during scale or transition
Temporary leadership during inflection points
Engagements are structured around execution outcomes, not functional ownership.

I’ve spent 15+ years operating inside growth-stage, PE- and VC-backed companies across SaaS, education, and services platforms – including as a founder, embedded operator, and senior advisor.
This is not functional marketing or sales leadership.
This is not demand generation, GTM execution, or advisory consulting.
This work sits at the operating system level – above tactics, below strategy.
