With over two decades of hands-on experience in manufacturing and supply chain operations, I partner with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to drive operational value creation.

My career spans leadership roles across multiple manufacturing sectors, from the shop floor to the executive suite. I've led plant turnarounds, built high-performing operations teams, and delivered millions in cost savings through lean implementation, supply chain optimization, and strategic sourcing.

I founded Four2One to bring enterprise-level operational expertise to the middle market. PE-backed companies in the $50M to $1B range often have significant untapped potential in their operations — I help unlock it.

Why Four2One?

Operator, Not Just Advisor

I've run plants, managed P&Ls, and led teams on the floor. My recommendations come from real operational experience, not just frameworks.

PE Fluency

I understand the investment thesis, the hold period, and the exit. Every engagement is designed around creating measurable, documentable value.

Cross-Industry Perspective

Work across multiple manufacturing sectors means I bring proven approaches from adjacent industries that your competitors haven't seen.
