What we do

We are the connective tissue between your investment thesis and operational reality. 

M&A value doesn't just erode; it evaporates when the "Ground Truth" of the shop floor is ignored. We specialize in identifying the hidden operational friction—the "rocks in the shoe"—that stalls integration velocity and puts your investment thesis at risk.

We don't just deliver a strategy; we build the bridge to execution. By embedding as your Fractional Head of Integration, we deploy our proprietary 5-Phase Playbook to stabilize human capital, unify processes, and ensure that your new merged organization is built to sustain long-term value preservation.

Powered by LinchpinOS™

The Missing Screen in Your Cockpit.


We bring the Bridge. The OS brings the Visibility.

You have a dashboard for Finance (EBITDA) and a dashboard for Sales (Pipeline). Why are you managing your single biggest risk—integration—with a static spreadsheet?

Our engagements are powered by LinchpinOS™, our proprietary integration operating system that turns "culture" into a hard, trackable KPI.

The "Human Velocity" Score: We replace subjective updates with a real-time speedometer (0-100) that tracks sentiment, SOP adoption, and retention risk.

The Risk Radar: We identify hidden friction points—from "flight risk" talent to "hated tools"—before they become board-level fires.

The Integrity Terminal: We give your frontline staff a safe, direct line to identify blockers and propose solutions, turning complaints into operational improvements.

Who we are

Your strategic partners in high-stakes execution

We don't just deliver impressive decks; we deliver real results through the Linchpin 5-Phase Playbook.

Linchpin was founded on a simple "ground truth": 70% of M&A integrations fail not because of bad strategy, but because of poor execution at the shop-floor level. We serve as the connective tissue between your investment thesis and operational reality, ensuring your People, Process, and Systems are unified in 100 days or less.

Our approach is collaborative, straightforward, and rooted in "Trades-Adjacent Authenticity". We speak fluent "boardroom" and fluent "shop floor," allowing us to identify and resolve the hidden operational friction—the "rocks in the shoe"—that generic consultants often miss.
