R. Michaels & Co

Most DTC founders are solving a growth problem that is actually a structural one.

Pricing, delivery, and operations built without reference to each other is where conversion suffers and margin leaks.

I work with founder-led DTC brands at two stages: operating brands that need a structural read of what's misaligned and what it's costing, and early stage brands that want to build the foundation right before scale exposes the gaps.
