Over 25 Years of Leadership Experience
I’m Mike Lisle, the Operations Consultant who guides small businesses and nonprofits to achieve operational excellence. With over 25 years of leadership experience, I’ve had the opportunity to sit in nearly every C-suite chair, allowing me to understand how strategic finance, marketing, and operations all work together.
In addition to my work as a consultant and fractional COO, I also provide executive mentoring and coaching to new and emerging leaders, ensuring a comprehensive approach to operational improvement.
If you lack standard operating procedures, efficient processes, or automated workflows and you are committed to scaling your organization, then we should talk. Connect with me on LinkedIn or use my Calendly link to schedule a time to chat.
