THE PROBLEM

Your operations are breaking, and it's costing you money.

Maybe your business doubled, but your systems are held together with spreadsheets. Or you're going through an acquisition and need someone to maintain operations while protecting your interests. Or you're managing global supply chains and compliance (ITAR, EAR, VAT) without in-house expertise.

The real problem? Most COOs only understand operations. Most CFOs only understand finance. You need someone who speaks BOTH - who optimizes for PROFITABILITY, not just efficiency.

What happens if this doesn't get fixed:

• Operations can't scale. Orders get delayed. Quality slips. Teams burn out.

• You're drowning in chaos, can't see where you're losing money, making critical decisions blind.

• The business you built is crumbling under its own success.

YOUR GUIDE

I'm Marianne Quilez. For 20+ years, I've walked into operational chaos and restored order, profitability, and scalability.

What makes me different: I'm the rare executive who speaks both operations AND finance fluently - managing P&L, cost accounting, and budgets while optimizing manufacturing, global supply chains, and multi-site operations.

• Led operations through 16x growth ($2M to $33M)

• Stabilized 16+ companies during M&A crises

• Managed $100M international operations with 100% on-time performance, zero compliance violations

• Ran multi-site operations with 36+ direct reports

• Reduced processing time 40% through lean manufacturing and ERP optimization
