16 years turning
complexity into clarity.
I'm Marcus Reid — a business consultant who spent a decade inside Fortune 500 strategy teams before going independent. I work with founders and operators who are scaling fast and need a trusted advisor who's already seen what's coming.
My approach is direct. I identify the two or three leverage points that will move your business, build the plan, and stay in the room until it's working.
What clients
actually say.
"Marcus restructured our go-to-market in 90 days. We closed our Series B at a $48M valuation — 60% above our internal target. He doesn't give you a deck, he gives you a result."
Jordan Whitfield
CEO, Vantage SaaS
"We were hemorrhaging 22% of revenue to operational waste. Marcus identified the root causes in week one and had us running lean by month three. ROI on his engagement: 18×."
Priya Mehta
COO, Luminary Health
"The acquisition we almost walked away from became our best asset. Marcus ran our due diligence, rewrote the integration plan, and the combined entity hit profitability in 7 months."
David Okafor
Managing Partner, Crestline Capital
