Operator #
How to execute at scale. The operator sequences investments against timelines, trains workforces, and ships cost programs that survive contact with production.
Multi-brand portfolio, turnarounds, P&L ownership, ~$1B+ revenue. Triage first, build second, scale third. The sequence matters more than the strategy.
