Growth still runs through you? I've been in that exact spot.
I've closed $50M+ in deals personally and scaled companies to hundreds of people. Now I'm an operator to founders and executives, so revenue grows without more of your time.
Ready to grow without being the bottleneck?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
-
"I've had a chance to work with Ken twice and have to say it was fantastic. Ken brings a mix of strategic insight and tactical planning that is rare from what I've experienced with other consultants."
Jake Dunlap
CEO of Skaled · 8-figure GTM agency -
"I know what got me here won't get me there. I believed Ken could help me. When I needed tough love, he was there. Thank you Ken, I'm lucky to know you."
Stacy Havener
CEO of Havener Capital · 7-figure boutique advisory
The best opportunities still need you on the call. Revenue is up but so is your calendar. Work waits on you because you're the one who knows what happens next.
You don't want a bigger business. You want a more profitable one and you want your time back. I know what that takes. We work through your biggest judgment calls together, with hands-on help, and I stay involved until it runs without you in every role.
How I got here
I started working remotely in 2005, as a one-person business, years before it was normal. In 2009 I started Savvy Apps from a small makeshift desk in a rental apartment, with no outside funding.
It grew into a mid-seven-figure company with people around the world. We built 20+ featured apps and advised companies like PBS, Levi's, GEICO, Homesnap, Speek and BoxTone, the last three later acquired. Along the way I wrote App Savvy for O'Reilly.
In 2020 I merged into a global remote consultancy, where I was one of three Partners and the company passed $20M a year before its acquisition.
Through all of it, I was the person growth ran through. Now I help founders and executives get out of that spot.
