Growing fast is exciting.
Until the wheels start coming off.

You started lean and scrappy — and it worked. But now you're drowning in manual tasks, using five tools that don't talk to each other, and spending your evenings catching up on things that should run themselves.

The real problem isn't the workload. It's that you can't see clearly where the bottlenecks are — and every fix feels like duct tape. You know there's a better way to run things. You just don't have the time or the outside perspective to find it.

That's exactly what I do.

I've been inside the machine.
I know how to fix it.

I'm Tony Marino — a strategic operations consultant based in Hudson, NY. Over 15+ years I've built and fixed operations at companies like Apple, Etsy, Tesla, and GAF Energy. I've led global teams, launched CRM systems, automated workflows, and trained hundreds of people to do their jobs better and faster.

Now I bring that corporate-level thinking to founder-led businesses — the kind that don't need a 6-month engagement or a $50k retainer to get results. I'm a certified StoryBrand Guide, which means I also help you communicate more clearly, not just operate more efficiently.

My clients typically see 20–40% reduction in manual work and get back hours every week within the first month.

Let's Talk

Every week you wait, the cost compounds.

Bad systems don't just slow you down — they quietly burn money, burn out your team, and limit how much you can grow. The manual workarounds that "work for now" are costing you more than you realize: in time, in errors, in missed opportunities, and in the deals that slip through the cracks.

The businesses that scale are the ones that build clean operations early — before they need them.

Imagine your business actually running itself.

What would it feel like to open your laptop on Monday and see your pipeline updated, your follow-ups sent, your team aligned — without you having to chase any of it? That's not a fantasy. That's what good operations looks like. My clients get there, and so can you.
