Fractional operating leadership · Order-to-cash & the revenue engine

I don't advise the transformation. I run it.

Fractional operating leadership for founder-led and PE-backed companies — focused on the revenue engine: quote-to-cash, order-to-cash, and the operating model that moves cash faster.

Quote-to-cash cycle −50% cycle time
Before
100
After
50

Quoting through cash, re-engineered end to end in a live engagement — cycle time cut in half, operating capacity doubled at the same headcount.

The practice

An operator inside the revenue engine.

Nineteen years as the executive accountable for the outcome — not the adviser recommending it. Three lanes, one job: make the revenue engine run.

Quote-to-cash & O2C

Quoting, order management, invoicing, and AR re-engineered as one system. Five years running order-to-cash finance transformations for 18+ Fortune 100 companies — then compressing the same cycle 50% inside a founder-led business.

Operating model from ambiguity

Build the operating model where there isn't one, then prove it with measured results. Divisions, delivery organizations, and support functions built from zero and scaled — 0 to 40 people, 60 to 120, from greenfield to enterprise grade.

AI-native operations

Generative AI embedded in the core workflows of a real operating company — not a pilot. Recurring manual effort down, capacity redirected to revenue work, staffing modeled around the new throughput.

A scoped diagnostic sprint

Map the revenue engine. Find where cash stalls. Hand back a plan you can run.

A defined start and a defined deliverable — no open-ended retainer. I map your revenue engine end to end, surface where cash stalls, where margin leaks, and where capacity is trapped in manual work, and hand back a prioritized operating plan. Run it yourself, or run it with me.

Professional services division built

Operated across every scale — a Fortune 10 division, a hypergrowth fintech unicorn, and a founder-led business — with the same shape every time: build the operating model, then prove it with measured results.

Order-to-cash & delivery leadership into enterprises including Kraft Heinz, Coca-Cola, and Ferrero.

Fit

Where I add the most.

Founder-led and PE-backed companies scaling past the point the operating model was built for.

Revenue engines that have outgrown their process — quote-to-cash friction, margin leak, capacity trapped in manual work.

Buyers who want an operator in the room, not a deck: founders, CFOs, and PE / VC operating partners.

About

I'm Jon Tyks. For nineteen years I've been the executive accountable for the outcome — building operating models from ambiguity and proving them with measured results, from a Fortune 10 division to a founder-led business.

My deepest lane is the revenue engine: order-to-cash, quote-to-cash, and the finance operations that move cash faster. I've run it at both extremes of scale, with a live engagement doubling capacity and halving cycle time.
