Structure for founders who are tired of carrying everything.
MarPhil started on January 1, 2019. We exist to remove operational drag and install durable systems that let founders lead without constant firefighting.
Why we exist
When teams grow, the old way of running the business breaks. Workflows blur, reporting becomes unreliable, and everything still lives in the founder’s head. I come in, get a clear view of what’s actually happening, and put structure in place so the business can run without constant escalation.
I work best with founder-led companies, SMBs, and early mid-market teams who have outgrown their processes but don’t need a full-time COO. I’m not here to take over. I’m here to install durable ops and remove friction.
Quick highlights
- 20+ years in operations, systems, and technical leadership
- 13 startups launched; 5 scaled to mid-market
- Fractional ops support across sales, support, marketing, finance, and delivery
- Focused on clarity, ownership, and execution over hype

Primary pillars
These are the four pillars you’ll see across the site. Most founders only need to focus on one at a time.
Decision Integrity
Replace gut-only calls with a clear decision system the team can trust.
Momentum & Action
Remove founder bottlenecks so work moves without constant escalation.
Structure Without Bureaucracy
Install light-weight operating structure without killing speed or culture.
Founder Psychology
Reduce burnout loops and build durable, long-range leadership capacity.
If operations feel heavier than they should, it’s fixable.
