Advisory

Build a business that can support what comes next.

For 20 years, I have built, grown, and reinvented Physique 57, navigating the consequential decisions that come with leading a company. I bring that operating experience to founders, operators, and investors across health, wellness, and fitness.

Whether you are developing your leadership team, strengthening operations, or considering expansion, I help you see what the business needs and make a clear plan to move forward. Together, we build a stronger company, with a team you trust and work you feel proud of.

Jennifer Vaughan Maanavi
The Inside Out Operating Method

Strong businesses are built from the inside out.

I begin by understanding the whole company: who owns what, how decisions get made, what the numbers reveal, and where the business depends too heavily on its founder. We also consider the personal priorities and pressures that shape how you lead.

From there, we turn insight into action.

Create clarity.

Define roles, expectations, and accountability so people understand what they own and what success looks like.

Strengthen the team.

Develop managers, identify leadership needs, and work through hiring, compensation, and difficult people decisions.

Build practical systems.

Establish operating manuals, management routines, and client experience standards that help the team deliver consistently.

Make thoughtful growth decisions.

Evaluate pricing, new locations, licensing, new markets, and growth opportunities with a clear understanding of what the company can support.

Working Together

One advisory relationship. Two ways to begin.

Founder Operating Advisory

For founders who want an experienced operating partner as they build and lead their company.

We begin with a structured first month to understand the business and establish priorities, then meet twice a month with support between sessions. I want to be someone you call first when a consequential decision is taking shape. You and your team lead execution; I bring perspective, practical tools, and the experience of carrying these responsibilities myself.

Engagements begin with a six month commitment.

Portfolio Operating Advisory

For investors and boards who want to help a founder build the organization their growth plan requires.

The investor sponsors the engagement, and I work directly with the founder to strengthen leadership, operations, and accountability. We agree on confidentiality, communication, and reporting before we begin, creating a trusted relationship with clear priorities and visibility into progress.
