Through Systematic Execution & Change Management​​​
Why Otto Strategic Execution Exists After 25 years running FDA-regulated manufacturing operations—including a $40M→$130M transformation at Phillips Medisize—I kept seeing the same pattern:
PE firms buy great companies, then destroy value during integration. Strategy firms create beautiful 100-day plans. Then they leave. And the manufacturing operator who's never integrated a site before is left holding a $50M problem. That's why I founded Otto Strategic Execution: to be the operator who EXECUTES the integration, not just advises on it. I've consolidated facilities, relocated $10M+ in equipment, integrated 600+ employees across borders, and protected $100M in customer relationships—all while maintaining FDA compliance and zero revenue disruption.
Wharton-trained in M&A | Shop-floor proven in execution
That's the Otto difference.​
