Ian came in to what, at the time, I thought might be a sinking ship. His broad experience in operations, systems, and team building came highly recommended, and we entrusted him with taking over as interim COO. Ian rolled up his sleeves and immediately got to work, establishing operational controls, directing management meetings, working with our ERP vendor, and bringing on a new Controller. He held things together during the buyout of my partner, and gave us guidance in moving forward.

Operational Excellence!

I have enjoyed working with Ian and he has helped me navigate many obstacles (personally and in business) and always comes to the table with suggestions, not simply pointing out problems. I can’t say enough good things about Ian and anyone who has the opportunity to work with him should take it! He has been my best mentor from the day I met him.
