Elliot Swift

I help $500K–$10M+ business owners find and fix the operational leaks costing them $50K–$500K/year — then build the systems to keep the money where it belongs.

I didn't learn this from a textbook. I learned it scaling a CPG manufacturing company from $0 to $75 million in B2B + B2C revenue over seven years, managing 120 employees across manufacturing, distribution, and retail operations in one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country.

I've managed budgets, forecasting, and cash flow across seven-figure CapEx investments. I've run ROI calculations on production lines, built value stream maps, optimized pricing and margin models, and maintained operations through regulatory changes that would have shut down less prepared companies.

What I Actually Did

3 years in real estate. 7 years co-founding and scaling a vertically integrated CPG manufacturing company. I've made payroll more times than I can count. I've gone through reductions in force, hiring sprints, and everything in between. I've lost sleep over the same problems you're dealing with right now.

Now I help business owners find the profit leaks I've lived through firsthand. Not from a whiteboard — from the floor, the P&L, and the hard conversations nobody else wants to have.

The Framework

Every business I work with gets evaluated through The 8 Leaks — the diagnostic framework I built from a decade of operator experience. It covers positioning, direct costs, overhead, pricing, offer architecture, pipeline, customer expansion, and partnerships.

The framework is industry-agnostic. The patterns show up whether you're running a machine shop, a services firm, or a brewery. The specifics vary. The leaks don't.
