The Firm

Two operators. One standard.

Everything we recommend, we have done with our own money on the line. We take a small number of clients at a time, on purpose.

Ben Roberts, Co Founder · Growth, Sharp Iron Strategies

Ben Roberts

Co Founder · Growth

Ben builds the commercial engine that carries an operation. His career spans positioning, offer architecture, and demand generation for owner-led companies scaling past the point where founder effort alone can fill a pipeline.

He treats growth as an operating system rather than a campaign: a defined market, a defensible position, a disciplined pipeline, and pricing that reflects the value of the work.

Eric Nielsen, Co Founder · Operations, Sharp Iron Strategies

Eric Nielsen

Co Founder · Operations

Eric has spent two decades inside operations where failure is measured in millions. He built and ran fulfillment and process improvement at Amazon, led operational programs for United States government agencies, and directed production across commercial baking and industrial heat treat.

Owners engage Eric when growth has outpaced structure. He maps how work and money actually move, exposes what the organization has been paying to tolerate, and installs the operating rhythm that closes it permanently.

Capabilities

Where we work.

Process Architecture

We redraw how work actually moves, then remove the handoffs, approvals, and rework that quietly consume your week.

Automation and Systems Build

We build the tooling that owns repetitive work end to end, so output grows without another seat on payroll.

Fulfillment and Throughput

We stabilize delivery so volume rises without quality slipping or your best people carrying the difference.

Supply Chain and Inventory

We tighten planning, purchasing, and stock discipline until working capital stops sitting idle on the floor.

Metrics and Operating Cadence

We install the numbers that matter and the weekly rhythm that forces decisions before problems become losses.

Revenue Operations

We connect pipeline, pricing, and delivery into one accountable system instead of three disconnected efforts.

Begin

Your next hire might be a system.

One conversation. We will look at the seat you are about to fill, what it truly costs, and whether a system should own it instead. You will leave knowing, either way.
