Operating Partners
WHEN STANDING STILL IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.
Some businesses need advice. Others need someone to step in and help make change happen.
Kopilot works alongside owners and leadership teams to diagnose what is holding the business back, build what is missing, and help implement the next chapter.

What We Do
WE STEP IN WHEN THE BUSINESS NEEDS TO MOVE.
Different situations require different interventions. Our work is built around the problem — not a predefined consulting package.
Business Transformation
For businesses that know something needs to change — but need help determining what, why and how.
Growth often creates complexity faster than the organization can absorb it. We diagnose root causes, establish priorities, build the roadmap and work alongside management to make the transformation happen — without losing the entrepreneurial strengths that got the business here.
Embedded Operating Partner
More than advice. Hands-on execution.
We embed alongside ownership and management for a defined mandate — helping make decisions, build teams, establish operating cadence and move critical initiatives from plan to reality.
International Growth
Entering a new market is easy to underestimate and expensive to get wrong.
We help businesses determine where to play, how to enter and what needs to be built locally — then help execute the expansion.
Business Model Reinvention
When the old growth model is no longer enough.
We help companies create new paths to customers and revenue without destroying what already works.
How We Work
FROM PROBLEM TO CAPABILITY.
We do not operate from the outside. We work alongside your team — from understanding what is really happening to building what is needed and transferring it back to the organization.
Understand
See the business as it actually operates.
Diagnose
Identify the root causes holding it back.
Design
Define what needs to change.
Build
Create the people, processes and capabilities required.
Implement
Work alongside the team to make change happen.
Transfer
Leave ownership and capability inside the business.
THE GOAL IS NOT TO CREATE DEPENDENCY.
IT IS TO LEAVE THE BUSINESS STRONGER AFTER WE LEAVE.
When Kopilot Makes Sense
We work best at inflection points.
- 01
A founder-led or growing business that has outgrown the way it operates — and needs the leadership, structure and capabilities for its next stage.
- 02
A leadership team navigating a significant strategic pivot, market shift or business-model change.
- 03
A business preparing for a transaction, partnership, or ownership transition.
- 04
An owner or leadership team facing a critical challenge that requires senior operating capacity beyond the existing team.
Experience
Built in the business.
Not on the sidelines.
GE · HERBALIFE · AVON · TUPPERWARE
Local, regional and global operating leadership across turnarounds, regulatory transformation, private equity, international expansion, digital transformation and business-model reinvention.
Engagement Model
Structured around the work.
Every situation is different. We structure each engagement around the problem, the outcomes required and the level of operating involvement needed.
Embedded Operating Partner
A senior Kopilot partner works alongside ownership and management on a defined mandate — helping lead priorities, make decisions and build the capabilities required to move the business forward.
Transformation Sprint
A concentrated engagement around a specific challenge or opportunity — from restructuring and market entry to commercial transformation or business-model redesign.
Advisory Retainer
For leadership teams that need an experienced thinking partner without a full operating engagement — providing perspective, challenge and support around critical decisions.
Led by Luis Vazquez
Built by an operator, not a career consultant.
Experience across GE, Herbalife, Avon and Tupperware — with local, regional and global leadership spanning commercial operations, P&L management, turnarounds, international expansion, digital transformation and organizational change.
Most recently: an embedded transformation project inside a 30-year-old family-owned business navigating growth, generational transition and modernization.
