RHAbout Rhys
I’m a Business Owner turned Fractional COO with 18+ years of hands-on experience saving, scaling, acquiring, leading and ultimately successfully exiting companies.
Over the years, I’ve helped stabilize struggling operations, lead post-acquisition teams, and streamline operations that hold businesses back. I’ve also bought, merged, and sold companies, so I understand what’s operationally at stake on both sides of the deal.
Today, I partner with founders and leadership teams as an embedded operator, bringing structure, accountability, and breathing room back into their business.
Key Areas of Focus:
– Fractional COO support for scaling businesses
– Operational efficiency & cost control
– Team alignment & management systems
– Acquisition integration & exit readiness
If you're navigating growth, chaos, or change, I can help you steady the ship.
