Fractional COO · Taktion Diversified
I'm Matt Froehlich — a Fractional COO who works with mid-market manufacturers whose EBITDA improvement plans keep missing and whose cash keeps getting absorbed in inventory, expediting costs, and reactive execution.
The problem is almost never demand. It's that operations are being managed reactively instead of systematically. Leadership meetings are dominated by conflicting numbers, debates over whose data is correct, and last month's problems — instead of decisions that drive next quarter's performance. Every inventory miss or margin erosion event quietly damages credibility with the board and investors.
I've spent 22+ years inside complex manufacturing environments — Johnson Controls, Parker Hannifin, and IDEX Health and Science — leading operations, supply chain, finance, and sales across multi-site organizations. I implement alongside leadership teams. I don't deliver recommendations and leave.
