Regional distribution company, $180M. Route and warehouse redesign, order-profitability visibility, and a weekly operating cadence the leadership team still runs.
Meridian works with mid-market operators — $20M to $400M — on the four problems that decide the next five years: operations, integration, pricing, and data.
Small senior teams, embedded with yours. Every engagement ends with something your people run without us.
Throughput, cost-to-serve, and the handoffs in between. We map the operation as it actually runs — then take the friction out of it.
The deal closed; now the clock is running. Day-one readiness, synergy tracking, and the first hundred days managed like a P&L line.
Most mid-market pricing is history plus habit. We rebuild it on willingness-to-pay, cost truth, and the discipline to hold the line.
Before the model comes the plumbing. We get your data trustworthy, your reporting honest, and your first AI use-cases into production.
Client names withheld; results audited against the client's own financials at engagement close.

Weeks 9–16Two decades running mid-market operations before advising them — distribution, logistics, and field services.
Led integration offices through eleven closed deals. Believes the first hundred days are won in the first ten.
Built pricing and analytics functions inside two Fortune 500s. Now builds smaller, faster versions for the mid-market.
