Principle Advisor @ Conrad Alois
Hello, thanks for stopping by and if you'd like, I prefer "Mitch". What do I do? Simply put, I help businesses, owners, and executives set and achieve strategic outcomes (many times this includes solving complex operational problems).
Running and growing a business is one of the hardest things any of us will ever do. Whether a founder, CEO, or executive, we'll discover that to achieve our ambitions it will require more than we can individually give. To excel we have to master establishing clarity, finding focus, ensuring alignment, and decisive, disciplined execution. It is often difficult, lonely, and many times extremely overwhelming. But, I'm here to tell you that you don’t have to go it all alone.
At Conrad Alois, I work with entrepreneurs, owners, and executives navigating the complexity of growth, executing towards scale, and making the necessary strategic transitions to achieve sustainability.
Through high-trust engagements, I deliver tailored business advisory services that enable leaders to make better decisions, effectively plan, create, and maintain sustainable momentum.

My Approach
I am a hands-on leader who likes to get out in front of issues and a practitioner of "roll-up-your-sleeves" management.
My practice philosophy
My approach is deep, personal, and no-nonsense. Grounded in a proven business philosophy that I’ve developed over 30 years of hands on business-building experience, it is composed of two proprietary frameworks: Foundational Thinking, a mental model to facilitate the creation of clarity, and the SIMPL Method (Simple Management Practice for Leaders), a organizational management approach used to deliver sustainable results.
Who I work with
Founders, owners, and executives in the startup, growth, scale, and reorganizing stages of their business.
What to expect
Direct, embedded work that is long-term impact-driven.
Why work with me?
I have the skills (and ability to teach) to both develop and execute a strategy. Simply put, this means I know how to set the objective and get the important things done while sticking with it through completion. Experienced as an multi-founder, entrepreneur, intrapreneur, and C-Suite executive, my value lies in the ability to simplify complex problems into actionable work.
I have both a deep technical (Systems Engineer to CIO) and operational background (startups, turn arounds, scaled growth, divestitures) enables me to work with select high-performance leaders who face unique business and personal challenges.
So far, over my career I have worked with teams and companies to add over $200m in combined revenue to their operations, and save almost as much. In every engagement, I strive to provide genuine, thoughtful help. I approach everything I do with care and passion.
You'll find that my approach is comprehensive, strategic, and designed for those who seek genuine, lasting results.
Who do I work best with?
Focused founders, CEOs, and executives who are committed to improvement and sustainable growth.
How do we work together?
You pick: 3, 6, or a 12-month engagement. It's results-oriented, high-touch involvement. Billed monthly, there are no term commitments or contracts.
My guarantee to you
If I don’t deliver the agreed-upon results, you don’t pay. No risk, no excuses, just accountability and outcomes.
