About Tom Tishbey
I step into good-but-messy companies — ventures with strong potential but friction in growth, governance, cash or commercial execution.
I fix what’s stuck, rebuild operational and financial clarity, and scale the business to its next stage — whether that’s the next raise, a turnaround, or profitability in more mature companies.
I don’t just consult from the sidelines — I roll up my sleeves and lead from within. Earlier in my career I co-founded and scaled a startup, and I’ve also held senior roles in established companies. That mix of venture agility and corporate discipline lets me bridge the gap between founder reality and investor expectations.
Colleagues and clients describe me as calm under pressure and relentlessly focused on outcomes — the person they call when something actually has to get done, not just discussed. The mission is simple: unlock value, restore a company’s potential, and protect its future — for its employees, its customers, and its investors.
