Operator Practice  ยท  Los Angeles

An operator practice that builds and holds.

Fractional executive leadership in operations, marketing, and technology, and equity in a small number of companies it helps build.

Practice

Senior operators, on a fractional basis.

Companies engage Woodhaus when they need someone who has run the thing before, without adding a full-time executive. Work falls into three areas.

Operations

Systems, fulfillment, and the operational infrastructure that lets a company scale without breaking.

Marketing & Growth

Direct-to-consumer and e-commerce growth built on acquisition economics rather than channel guesswork.

Technology

Product, platform, and internal tooling, including the applied-AI layer now reshaping how small teams operate.

Engagements short or long, embedded or advisory. Start a conversation
Portfolio

Equity in companies it helps build.

Woodhaus has operated as a practice since 2017. Today it also holds equity in a small number of companies it helps build, from the inside rather than at a distance.
