I build operational systems for SaaS founders who've outgrown improvisation.

For 27 years, I worked inside Intel fixing execution when everything was stuck—navigating bureaucracy, coordinating global teams, and unblocking organizations where every decision required consensus, approvals, and politics. My job was simple to describe and hard to do: get things moving again without breaking what already worked.

For six of those years, I ran operations for a 400-person software organization formed through three acquisitions. That's where I fell in love with working with software founders.

These were technical founders whose companies had been acquired—including a SaaS founder running a 40-person AI annotation platform. They were brilliant builders who had created real products, real teams, and real momentum. Overnight, they were dropped into a corporate machine that threatened to slow everything down. My role was to help them keep shipping, keep their teams informed and motivated, and keep decision-making from collapsing under bureaucracy.

I built the coordination systems they needed, and just as importantly, I shielded them from the kind of operational drag that quietly kills execution.

That experience taught me something important: If I can unstick execution inside Intel, where every decision involves dozens of stakeholders, I can do it even more effectively inside a SaaS company where we can simply decide and move.

Founders at $3–10M ARR face a different version of the same problem. You've hit product-market fit. You've raised money. You've hired smart people. And now cross-functional coordination breaks down. Decisions pile up. Your team can't move without you, even though that was never the plan.

This isn't a leadership failure. It's an operating system failure.

I started Elevare to work with founders like the ones I supported: technical leaders who are exceptional at building product, but who need someone to design and implement the operational systems that let the company scale without consuming the founder.

You don't have corporate constraints. Which means we can move faster and build something that actually fits the way you want to run your company.
