THE OPERATOR BEHIND THE STRATEGY
Leadership That Moves From Strategy to Execution
Michele has spent her career stepping into complex environments where the stakes are high—integrating organizations following mergers, rebuilding under-resourced operations, developing high-performing leadership teams, and turning around businesses that need a different path forward.
Her approach combines strategic perspective with hands-on operating discipline. She translates organizational priorities into accountable execution and measurable outcomes across financial performance, operational efficiency, quality, growth, and retention.
PROFITABILITY WITHIN ONE YEAR

Why Operating Alliance
“I built Operating Alliance around a simple idea: experienced leadership should create value long after the engagement ends.”
After decades of leading complex organizations, I saw an opportunity to bring experienced executive leadership to businesses in a more flexible way. Not every organization needs—or is ready for—another permanent leader. But many reach moments when experienced leadership can fundamentally change what happens next.
Operating Alliance is built for those moments. Through Fractional Leadership and Experience for Equity, my team and I work alongside owners, executives, investors, and their teams to solve critical challenges, strengthen operations, drive quality, revenue growth, develop leadership, and build sustainable organizational value tailored to what your business truly needs.
An Operator. An Owner. A Builder.
Michele’s knowledge extends beyond leading organizations for others. As a small business owner herself, she understands the decisions owners face when evaluating business opportunities, building for growth, creating enterprise value, and planning for what comes next.
As an entrepreneur with experience in business acquisition, Michele’s capabilities include both business evaluation and business valuation, as well as exit planning that helps owners protect the legacy they have built. Her perspective is further strengthened by active involvement in community economic development and entrepreneurial communities focused on acquisition, funding, and sustainable business development.
