Most mid-market injection molding companies face a common challenge: operational and strategic needs that require executive-level experience — but the answer isn't always a full-time hire.
That's where I come in.
I'm Brian Miller. I work with custom injection molding companies between $10M and $75M in two ways:
As a Fractional COO — full operational and strategic leadership for companies without a dedicated COO, or where the owner is carrying that responsibility directly.
As an Operational Improvement Partner — dedicated executive-level focus on high-priority initiatives, working alongside your existing COO or operations leadership as a peer, not a subordinate.
Both models are remote-first with quarterly on-site visits. Scope is defined around your specific situation — from targeted improvement initiatives to full operational leadership — and every engagement is built to produce results that hold after I leave.
I spent 33 years in injection molding — machine operator to President of a $15M custom molder with full P&L responsibility. That full-cycle experience, combined with a Master's degree in Organizational Management, means I bring both the shop floor instincts and the executive judgment the work requires.
I'm not a consultant who writes reports and leaves execution to someone already overloaded. I'm an operator who leads the work, holds the accountability, and delivers.
results.
Not just advice—I work with your team to implement changes that stick. Routine virtual collaboration, along with strategic on-site visits, ensures continuous progress and accountability.
Pattern recognition that only comes from decades in the business - applied to your operation from day one.
Whether you need a fractional COO or an operational improvement partner, you get executive-level expertise without full-time costs. Remote-first delivery means lower investment and faster response time without sacrificing results.
