Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Cooper is an Executive Advisor and Fractional Operating Partner with 13+ years of senior experience and two decades of hands-on P&L leadership helping growth-stage companies and PE portfolios scale without breaking. He specializes in operational architecture, margin capture, and crisis stabilization—having engineered a 40% relative gross margin uplift across a $190M nearshore practice and delivered $53M in cash during a high-stakes Pitney Bowes turnaround. Michael blends pragmatic governance with AI-accelerated diagnostics to deliver ten-day, high-confidence assessments that surface margin leakage and organizational friction before they escalate. He has a repeatable track record of rescuing ventures (e.g., reversing a $1M/month cash drain and spinning a profitable product) and aligning talent systems to enable rapid, sustainable scale. Based in Tampa, he operates as a retained strategic advisor to a select portfolio of firms, bridging boards and founders with executional rigor. Less obvious: his career began in early AI/ML product work and financial systems, giving him both technical fluency and commercial instincts that inform his advisory approach.
