About & Approach

An operator, not a theorist.

I founded Liberty Edge after 20+ years running fulfillment, distribution, and logistics networks at scale. From 26-site North American operations serving Estée Lauder, Gymshark, and Bath & Body Works to a $45M EBIT swing at Radial and a 44% turnover reduction at Cencora, the track record is specific. It's verified. And it was built on the floor, not in a conference room.

Most consultants hand you a report and leave. I stay until the work holds. Every engagement is built to outlast my involvement. That's not a tagline. It's the only version of success I accept.

The first question I ask in any engagement is always the same: "What's the problem we're actually trying to solve for?" Getting that right changes everything downstream.

Cross-Functional Alignment

I move work across teams that don't report to each other. Getting buy-in from operations, finance, IT, and sales simultaneously. That's where most initiatives stall. Not here.

Correct the Inputs, Not the Outputs

Chasing outputs is how operations stay in crisis mode. I find the root cause, fix what's actually broken, and build systems that produce the right results on their own.

Solutions That Compound

Teams don't feel managed out. They feel invested in. That's why the work doesn't unravel six weeks after I leave. The organization built it, not just executed it.

Scale Without Limits

From 25-person operations to 1,000+ at peak, across 26 buildings simultaneously. Nails to canoes. The scale changes. The operating principles don't.

What People Say

From the people who've seen it firsthand.

Saurin was the driving force behind our Operations Excellence efforts which produced significant improvement in our bottom line. He's an extremely talented leader and a quick learner. I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him.

David Powe Business Transformation Executive, managed Saurin directly

He's the person you bring in when an initiative is stuck across teams that don't report to each other. He doesn't push solutions. He builds consensus around the right problem, backs it with data, and gets people to actually own the outcome. The work holds after he leaves because the organization helped build it, not just execute it.

Mike Balik Technology Executive, Radial & HelloFresh

Self motivated and driven. An operational expert with an understanding of the commercial and customer management side of the business, which is a unique combination. A real asset to any organization.

Grant Cheney Director of Sales, Marketing & Customer Care

Ventures

Building products from the operator's perspective.

Beyond consulting, Liberty Edge builds technology products that solve real problems we've seen firsthand in hospitality and sports operations.

We build mobile and web applications from concept through launch, combining deep industry knowledge with modern development practices. The best products come from people who've lived the problem. That's the thesis.

Our flagship product, BarChannel, is in active development targeting a late 2026 launch.

In Development, 2026

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

On-site when operational need exists, and it usually does. I pride myself on being on the floor and getting a true read on the pulse of the operation. You can't diagnose what you can't see. Every engagement is tailored to the client's demands. Remote, hybrid, or fully embedded. We figure out what makes sense together.

A wide variety: retail, healthcare, automotive, food & beverage, and manufacturing. Operations fundamentals translate across industries. People, process, data, and accountability work the same whether you're moving pharmaceuticals or apparel. The context changes. The framework doesn't.

Honestly? In many situations it's better. Before committing to a full-time executive search, which takes months to recruit, onboard, and evaluate, you can bring in experienced operations leadership immediately to assess what your business actually needs long-term. You get senior horsepower now, clarity on the permanent role, and an operation already moving in the right direction. No search firm fees. No onboarding lag. No guessing.

All sizes. I've worked with operations running 25 people and operations running 1,000+ in a single building at peak. Multiply that across 26 buildings simultaneously. I've managed operations handling everything from small items like nails to large items like canoes. The scale changes. The operating principles don't.

Like any good project should: by understanding the requirements and setting a clear problem statement with aligned goals. The first question I ask is always the same: "What's the problem we're actually trying to solve for?" Before any recommendations are made, I need to understand what success looks like for your business, what's actually broken versus what just feels broken, and where the real leverage points are. That clarity up front is what makes everything downstream work.
