After 25+ years leading operational transformations and 5+ years in PE portfolio operations, Brian Clute founded Kingfisher Solutions to close a specific gap: growth-stage companies have significant EBITDA trapped in how they operate across functions — and no fast, operator-led way to find and capture it.
Traditional consulting isn't built for this segment. Big firms are too expensive and too slow. Boutiques lack the enterprise perspective, and their recommendations often sit on a shelf.
We built something different: fast, operator-led diagnosis that sizes the trapped EBITDA in weeks — combined with hands-on execution we govern through to realization, on fixed-fee engagements.
Most value leaks in the seams between functions — in how departments hand off work, how systems integrate (or don't), how teams coordinate. We diagnose how work actually flows across the whole organization to find where EBITDA is trapped. AI compresses that diagnosis from the 8–12 weeks of traditional consulting to a matter of weeks — but the diagnostic isn't the value; the operator judgment to act on it is. Then we stay through execution, governing it until the improvement reaches the financials.

We size the opportunity in weeks — then stay through implementation. Not consultants who deliver recommendations and leave.
