About Justin Stewart
From drilling rigs to boardrooms: operational expertise forged on the shop floor and refined through $32M international portfolio direction.
Justin Stewart: Fractional COO
I am an operations specialist who bridges the gap between the shop floor and the boardroom. My leadership was forged in high-stakes environments: from the precision and chaos of drilling rigs to equipment yards, manufacturing floors, and complex construction sites. I understand operations because I have lived them, not just studied them.
That field experience was refined at the executive level, where I directed $32M international portfolios and managed the critical intersection of field execution and corporate governance. I have sat in boardrooms presenting to investors and shareholders, while maintaining the operational discipline that delivers on those commitments.
I am an operations specialist, not an accountant. I don't analyze spreadsheets from a distance: I work across the field, the shop floor, and the corporate office. This gives me unique perspective: I understand what the frontline needs to execute, and I know how to translate that into board-level strategy and stakeholder confidence.
As a proprietor, I bring this experience directly to your business without the overhead of a full-time executive. My focus is singular: drive operational efficiency, restore profitability, and build systems that scale with your growth.
