About Jan Fix

I help business owners of small to mid-size companies execute their strategic vision to boost revenue, and cut costs. If they have a plan but no momentum, a vision but no buy-in, or poor operational processes, I serve as a key member of the Executive Team to analyze and recommend change, execute the plan and create growth. As a successful corporate business executive and former entrepreneur, I rely on my unique expertise in both financial and operational leadership to help Executive Teams strategize, implement, track, and motivate teams to successfully execute their strategic plan. An empowering leader who supports the company with a unique perspective and appreciation that human capital is every organization's greatest asset. A strong collaborative leader, I maximize the potential of both an organization and its people.ACCOMPLISHMENTS:• Increased Sales and Profitability.
