About Stage 5 Consulting

Stage 5 exists to help management teams and investors identify business problems, then solve them at their root cause,  resulting in transformative, business results.

I founded Stage 5 after decades of experience as the "fixer" in public, private and PE backed businesses.  I'm the guy who runs into the burning building sometimes with a single purpose: help the team win in the "great game of business".  

Over the decades, I've built a very deep bench of former colleagues and experts in  various fields that I'm now proud to call my partners.  This team brings deep operating experience across the areas where businesses most often struggle: strategy, growth, talent, operations, and M&A. 

We’ve run businesses, owned P&Ls, led turnarounds, integrated acquisitions, built leadership teams, and improved performance in complex, high-pressure environments.

We understand what it takes to deliver results in the real world. We bring the right skills and experience to your situation quickly and effectively.

We focus on execution and outcomes—not recommendations.

Our work begins with a deep understanding of your business, your challenges, and the results you are trying to achieve. From there, we work side-by-side with you to isolate and solve your business problems at their root.

We stay engaged until the work is done, the results are visible and the ROI is achieved on the engagement. 

Stage 5 brings a suite of proprietary tools and frameworks to the table that you won't find anywhere else.
