Network design · Flow · Fulfillment
Most consultants hand you a deck. I hand you the thing that fixes it.
One operator who finds where product and information actually move, redesigns the network, and builds the system to run it. No bench, no slide tax.
No call required.
No email gate.
- Network design that names the real bottleneck
- A number without a sales call
- Built to run, not to present
- One retainer, cancel any month

Five things I do.
Most jobs start as one of these and turn out to be another. Working out which one is usually the first week.

01
Network design
Where inventory sits, how many nodes you need, which lanes carry what, and where the DC should actually be. Most networks still run the shape they were given years ago, at volumes that have since moved.

Flow & inventory planning
Demand, stock, and the two failures that come out of the same hole: stockouts and dead stock. The forecast is rarely the problem. What happens to that number after it’s written usually is.

Operational excellence
The step nobody measures is the one costing money. I go and find it, put a number on it, and change it. Then I measure it again, because the first number is the argument and the second one is the proof.

Data governance
The data exists. The confidence does not. I build the bridge to the software that keeps the numbers honest, so the weekly meeting stops being a debate about whose spreadsheet is right.

Cross-border & tariff
I work in Windsor, on the busiest commercial crossing in North America, in a live tariff environment. Landed cost moves month to month now, and the sourcing decision you made last year is a different decision this year.

03 — The math
You were going to hire a unicorn. Rent one instead.
The role is two jobs: redesign the network, then build the system that runs it. People who do both are rare, and the ones who exist are already employed. Here is what each route costs.
| What is being compared | A senior hire | The retainer |
|---|---|---|
| All-in annual cost | A senior hire $180k+ | The retainer $5–8k/mo |
| Time to useful | A senior hire A quarter | The retainer Week one |
| Designs the network | A senior hire Maybe | The retainer Yes |
| Builds the system to run it | A senior hire No | The retainer Yes |
| If it isn’t working | A senior hire Severance | The retainer 30 days’ notice |
If the answer is that you need a full-time hire, I will tell you that.
