Founder-Master Business Strategist - Fractional CEO

1st MIND DUMP conducted in 1983 - Company launched in 2000

James Wittmack - Master Strategist / Fractional CEO

  • 10 years as a turnaround expert trouble shooter, 100% success with turnarounds
  • 8 Years as a licenses series 7, 6, 63 investment advisor
  • 10 Years as CEO of 2 successful furniture manufacturing companies
  • 4 Years as Regional Director for national management consulting firms
  • 19 Years as Master Business Strategist Founder of MIND DUMP

If you haven't had your business stolen at gunpoint you don't know what you've missed.  Six months after moving his successful 8-year-old globally-recognized furniture manufacturing company to Mexico in 1989 it was stolen from James at gun point.


This event made it crystal clear to James that ideas are worth nothing, execution  is everything.


Since 1989 James has focused all his energy and time preventing other entrepreneurs from getting in the same predicament by successfully executing their ideas.  


As a child, James dreamed of being the most successful CEO in the world. His perspective changed during a semester abroad as part of World Campus Afloat through Chapman College. After spending time with tribes people who had next to nothing, including no education or electricity, but were very happy, he realized having much money has little to do with happiness and success.


Following college, James worked as a turnaround expert and troubleshooter in retail and distribution for 12 years. For the next eight years, he owned a furniture manufacturing company that he built from scratch into a globally recognized brand.  Manufacturing custom furniture sold through design centers for large homes and hotel lobbies.  


James developed his proprietary process he calls "MIND DUMP."  MIND DUMP allows business owners to get "out of their head" and clearly understand their business issues. Business owners achieve targeted outcomes with dramatic financial results in an accelerated timeline.  

 

After a successful turnaround as CEO of a furniture manufactuing company, James served as an advisor for national management consulting companies out of Chicago and Dallas.


A Master Strategist can identify complex dynamic patterns others don't comprehend and implement a hybrid of options when options are limited.  A master strategist is one of an elite group who set the regulations, standards, and ideals.  Regarded by experts as being "the" expert. 


Why is a Master Strategist with 40 plus years experience better for you than 20 people with ten years experience equaling 200 years experience? 


Suppose you have a problem stemming from a 30-year-old technology that was discontinued 20 years ago.  20 people with ten years experience seek the advice of a Master Strategist, and so should you.
