Founder was the default router. I installed owners and lean rhythm so the team could execute.
PROBLEM
The founder was still the default router. Work moved, but decisions, handoffs, and priorities kept returning to one person.
WHAT I DID
Diagnosed where ownership broke. Installed clearer owners, decision paths, and a lean operating rhythm, only the structure required so the team could execute without constant escalation.
RESULT
Less founder bottleneck. Clearer accountability. Execution that didn’t depend on one person’s inbox.
