FOUNDER & CEO · SENIOR OPERATOR

Colin Howes

The kind of operator we send in on every engagement — ex-SVP, VP, GM or CEO with twenty-plus years running commercial P&Ls. Not a consultant who's read about the job. Someone who's done it.

Twenty-five years coaching founders and senior executives through the operational decisions that decide whether a business compounds or stalls. Author of The Fractional Founder.

Series-X was designed off 1,200+ coaching calls with owner-managers of £5–50m businesses — the conversations that surfaced the same gap, over and over: real operational complexity, no realistic path to install AI inside it.

The engagement we sell is the one those operators kept describing. A senior human they can actually talk to — someone who understands their business before the AI conversation starts. A working system at the end. A fixed price they can sign off without a board paper.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Two businesses. One bet on how senior expertise gets delivered next.
