Twenty years of being the person everyone came back to.
Before I named Founder Gravity, I lived it, as a COO carrying full P&L ownership, in businesses where every decision that mattered eventually landed on my desk.

20 years of operating experience, including senior leadership roles across Australia, North America, and Europe: full P&L ownership, and former COO roles inside complex service businesses.
I didn't come into this work as an outside observer. I ran the businesses first. I know what it's like to be the one everyone waits on, because I was that person, in rooms where the stakes were real.
Across more than 2,500 hours working directly with founders since, the same pattern kept showing up. Different industries. Different balance sheets. Same structural pull.
Concrete manufacturing. IT and managed services. Hospitality. Chemical distribution. Cleaning franchises. Equipment finance. Renovation retail.
Authority and accountability drifting back to the founder as the business grew, no matter how capable the people underneath had become. I gave that pattern a name so it could actually be diagnosed and fixed, not just talked about. I call it Founder Gravity.
I've also spent 20+ years presenting and speaking internationally across multiple sectors: keynotes, panels, and podcasts, where the subject is almost always some version of the same question: why does a business stop scaling the moment the founder tries to step back?
