Founder
Lauren Ramsey
Lauren founded The OpCo to do the work advisors describe but never do to build the business, not just to counsel it. She sits inside the company, installs the operating architecture, and stays on as the board seat.
Her method is diagnostic first: read the entities, the contracts, and the revenue lines before touching anything. Then build with discipline financial fluency, conversion architecture, and a business rhythm the founder can run without her. Then govern.

Governance from the board seat
Most founders don’t need more advice. They need someone to build the road and then stay to make sure they stay on it.
