The Glue.
Olie is an SMB consultancy built on three decades of operating experience. Deliberately lean to start — so we don't overcommit or overprice — and ready to scale alongside the businesses we serve. The whole point is to be the connective tissue between AI and the way your business actually runs.
Three decades. Every seat at the table.
Results-driven professional with a track record of growing organizations, teams, and client satisfaction by solving complex problems with a blend of technology, finance, operations, management, and business development.
30+ years inside small and mid-sized businesses — not advising from the outside, but doing the work. From the warehouse floor through sales, account management, and branch leadership in electrical distribution. General Manager and partner of a regional supply business. A decade as CTO, CFO, and COO of a diversified portfolio, where we grew 5x and expanded the credit facility 15x. Today, a principal ERP consultant working with clients of every size.
Along the way I've been called "the Glue" — the person who connects strategy to operations, finance to sales, technology to the people who actually use it. I'm passionate about companies that obsess over customer experience and the power of team collaboration to deliver excellence.
That's the role I want to play for you with AI. Most SMB owners I talk to feel two things at once: we need to be doing something with this, and we have no idea where to start. Olie exists to take that off your plate. We figure out where AI actually moves the needle in your business, build it, and stick around to make sure it works.
Four things we won't bend on.
Outcomes over activity
We don't bill busy. Every engagement starts with the metric you actually care about — and we measure before, during, and after.
Warm and direct
AI is intimidating right now. We don't add to that. We ask plain questions, give plain answers, and keep ego out of the room.
Right-sized for SMBs
We work with 50-to-500-person businesses. The advice is built for the constraints you actually have — budget, team, time, attention.
Honest 'no'
If AI isn't the answer to your problem, we'll tell you. Often the right call is a process change or a smaller fix. We'd rather earn trust than fees.
A name worth keeping.
Olie is a brand with a long history of connecting buyers, sellers, and the systems that make business run. The name carries forward into AI consulting for the same reason: we still believe the hard part isn't the technology — it's connecting it to the people and processes that already work.
