Founder Story

Why I Built TorqueOps

Most Main Street businesses do not lack ambition. They lack the operating systems Silicon Valley companies use every day to scale, adapt, and execute.

I spent much of my career inside Silicon Valley operating environments where growth was not treated as luck. It was engineered.

At companies like Uber, Druva, CafePress, PresenceLearning, and DataSights, the best teams did not scale because they had prettier dashboards or thicker budgets. They scaled because they built operating systems: agile planning cycles, OKRs, driver-based models, annual operating plans, quote-to-cash discipline, cross-functional accountability, and systems that connected decisions to data.

That mindset changed how I saw business.

TorqueOps is the translation layer between enterprise operating discipline and the practical cash, margin, and execution needs of owner-led businesses.

The outcome is a business with fewer surprises and more owner leverage.

The Gap

The best product teams do not wait twelve months to learn.

They build, test, ship, learn, and iterate. But most finance and planning processes still work the old way: long budget cycles, static targets, disconnected spreadsheets, and decisions made too far away from the people closest to the customer.

That gap is painful in large companies. In small and mid-sized businesses, it can be fatal.

A $5M HVAC company, a founder-led SaaS business, or a family-owned services company may have real demand, loyal customers, and strong work ethic. But without cash visibility, margin clarity, operating cadence, and accountability, growth can feel like chaos. Revenue goes up, but cash stays tight. The owner works harder, but the business does not get easier to run.

The Playbook

TorqueOps takes enterprise operating discipline and makes it practical for owner-led businesses.

01

Agile Planning

Short planning loops, fast feedback, and weekly recalibration instead of a static annual budget that goes stale by February.

02

OKR Cadence

Three to five priorities, measurable results, visible accountability, and a rhythm that keeps the team focused on what actually moves the business.

03

AOP Discipline

Driver-based financial planning that links revenue, labor, capacity, margin, and cash so owners can see the business before it surprises them.

04

Systems Integration

QBO, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Stripe, CRM, payroll, and operating data connected into a usable decision system, not another dashboard nobody trusts.

Why It Matters

This is personal for me.

My passion for SMBs shows up in the advisory work I do with Onsides.ai and American Operator, and in community work like Dublin Little League. I care about the "little guys" because they are not little in effort, risk, or ambition. They just often lack access to the operating infrastructure larger companies take for granted.

TorqueOps is my answer to that gap.

We do not just tell owners what is broken. We help install the system that makes the business easier to run.
