Services

Hands-on leadership. Measurable results.

I work with organizations facing growth, complexity, transition or performance pressure. Each engagement is scoped to the problem, staffed by me personally, and measured against goals we agree on up front.

Discuss your situation How engagements work

When a key seat is empty, or the person in it needs to be replaced quickly, the organization can’t afford to drift. I step in as interim CEO or COO, stabilize the team, and keep the business moving while you find the right permanent leader.

I did this most recently as Interim COO of Valiant Recovery in Denver, leading residential, PHP and IOP operations, and before that as CEO of Alsana during a board-directed turnaround.

When it fits

Sudden executive departure or leave
Post-acquisition integration
Restructuring or turnaround
Founder stepping back from operations

What you get

30-day stabilization plan and scorecard
Weekly reporting to owners or the board
Leadership development and succession support
A clean handoff to your permanent executive

Sometimes you don’t need another executive. You need someone who has seen the movie before. I serve as a thought partner to CEOs, founders and owners facing growth strain, complexity or decision paralysis.

Common topics

Leadership team structure and hiring
Service-line and level-of-care strategy
Payer mix, rates and utilization review
Accreditation, licensure and compliance readiness

How it works

Recurring working sessions with you and your team
On-call access for time-sensitive decisions
Quarterly on-site visits as needed
Plain-language recommendations, not slide decks

I find the operational, admissions, staffing and financial constraints that are holding you back, then fix them fast. This is the work I’m best known for.

At Meadows, I turned a $1.1M EBITDA shortfall into a $586K surplus. At Alsana, we delivered the first positive EBITDA months in more than seven years.

Where I look first

Admissions funnel and time-to-admit
Census, length of stay and level-of-care mix
Staffing models, turnover and overtime
Revenue cycle and payer performance

What changes

A clear operating cadence across teams and sites
Accountability with visible, simple metrics
Faster throughput from inquiry to admission
Recovered margin without sacrificing care

Growth exposes every weak system. I design repeatable operating models that let you expand from one site to many, or one level of care to a full continuum, without losing performance or culture.

I’ve launched four de novo inpatient programs, grown beds from 260 to 330, and designed a complete residential-to-PHP/IOP, virtual and alumni continuum for a psychedelic-assisted treatment provider.

Typical deliverables

Level-of-care program plans and staffing models
Multi-year pro formas and capacity plans
Referral network and business development plans
Construction, licensure and accreditation roadmaps

Built to last

Standardized admissions and UR processes
Enterprise reporting and KPI dashboards
Leadership pipelines for new sites
Culture practices that scale

Boards, investors and owners deserve a clear, honest view of the business. I build the reporting, decision frameworks and leadership alignment that let you govern with confidence.

Monthly operating reviews and board-ready reporting packages
Decision rights and escalation frameworks for the leadership team
Independent operational assessment of management performance
Strategic planning facilitation and goal-setting
