John Krebsbach is a 3x founder and chief operating officer who enjoys the journey of building high growth companies with great people.

1
Growth Operator
When partnering with owners and leaders in private businesses, John is often referred to as the "general contractor" of their business operations; a "quarterback" for the sports fans. He keeps an eye on the overall picture so that the team of subject matter experts (i.e. tax, legal, HR, accounting, banking, insurance, etc.) are complementing one another's work. This is especially needed when those functions are partially/completely outsourced or being created in growing companies.

Action Instigator
Beyond back office tune ups and orchestration, John works with leadership teams to identify, evaluate, and execute initiatives that grow profit. Whether entering new markets, right sizing product/service offerings, implementing cross sell and upsell initiatives, conducting strategic M&A, or firing unprofitable customers, John is a thought partner who translates ideas into action.
