The hire inherits what’s actually there: a 3PL portal that doesn’t talk to the inventory system, orders reconciled by hand, tools doing overlapping jobs, reorder logic living in one person’s head. A good operations leader can work within that. Rebuilding it is a different discipline entirely.

The operations leader understands the business but isn’t equipped to redesign the systems. The advisor owns neither side, by design. Finding the leaks requires holding both halves at once.
