I care about clear standards, steady operating rhythms, and long-term direction. I bring strategy, operations, sales, and technical execution together so the whole company moves at the same pace.

My story
Before business, I rowed for the U.S. National Team and studied in Oxford, England. Even earlier, I ran two STEM research projects, one on deforestation and one on engine idling. They earned 12 national awards, including the Presidentâs Environmental Youth Award and a White House Science Fair award from President Obama, and I presented them at the White House and to the U.S. Military. Rowing teaches you one thing above everything else: the boat only moves when every person pulls together, at the same time, in the same direction. Iâve carried that into every project since.
My first big operating role was Chief of Staff at Loogaroo Logistics, where I helped take the business from $0 to $40M ARR in 36 months. I secured distributorship contracts, helped raise $3M+ in early funding, and helped build the software and payment systems behind it. It moved fast, and it taught me how much a small team can do when everyone knows their seat in the proverbial boat.
From there I co-founded Everything To Gain, a multi-disciplinary digital consulting firm backed by Antler, angel investors, and Vercelâs startup accelerator. We grew to $1M+ ARR and built go-to-market systems for teams like Groq, Toyota, and the Better Business Bureau, including the team and systems behind Groqâs $640M raise at a $2.8B valuation.
Most recently, as Chief of Staff at The Contractor Consultants, I helped grow the company from $9M to $16M in about 15 months by building the sales, data, and operating systems behind that growth.
Outside of operating roles, I own and manage a real estate portfolio of 6 properties. Across every role, the goal stays the same: build systems that help the whole team do its best work, share what I learn, and leave every place a little better than I found it.
If something here sparked a thought, Iâd love to hear from you. Thank you for reading.
With Love,
Michael A. Cofone III
