▲ BUILT BY OPERATORS, FOR OPERATORS

Something's broken, and you don't have the leader to fix it.

Top7 puts a senior operator on the problem in days, not months. Finance, technology, security, revenue, operations, marketing or people. You can bring us in fractional, interim or for a single project.

◆ SOC 2

◆ HIPAA

◆ CMMC

◆ NIST CSF

◆ CYBER INSURANCE READINESS

◆ M&A DILIGENCE

▲ THE TERRAIN

You're here because something isn't working.

You don't have a talent problem. You have a leadership gap. We fill it.

Your team is too busy running today to build tomorrow. Top7 puts an experienced operator in the seat to get you over the next mountain — without slowing the day-to-day.

01
A seat opened with no warning.
A key leader just left, and the work didn't stop when they did.
02
The decision is above your current bench.
A big decision is coming, like a raise, an acquisition, a SOC 2 audit or an AI investment, and nobody on the team has done it before.
03
You're the bottleneck.
Everything runs through you, and it's slowing the whole company down.
04
You're big, but not that big.
You're not ready for a full-time executive hire. You need the experience without the $300K+ commitment.

▲ THE VELOCITY-7 FRAMEWORK

What happens when you reach out

There is no silver bullet.  There are no magic beans. We ask real questions about where your business is at and why; and where you want your business to be, and why.

▲ The Discussion

A 15-minute call

Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you whether we can help.

▲ The Plan

A clear plan within a week

What needs fixing, in what order, and who owns it.

▲ The Action

An operator in the seat

Someone who has solved this exact problem before, backed by the full Top7 team.

▲ THE VELOCITY-7 FRAMEWORK

A repeatable ascent, not a collection of smart individuals.

90 days from chaos to control.

▲ BASECAMP · DAYS 0–30 

Assess & Stabilize

"Where do we actually stand, and what's bleeding?"  We read the terrain — systems, team, numbers, risk — and triage anything on fire (cash, a security gap, a broken hand-off) before planning the route.

You leave with: an honest diagnostic and the ranked list of what's really holding you back.

▲ ASCENT · DAYS 30–60 

Plan & Execute

"What's the route, and who owns each pitch?" We build the sequenced plan with owners and dates, then do the work in the seat — not from the sidelines. Systems get installed, cadences get set, decisions get made.

You leave with: a plan in motion, early wins banked, and a leader accountable for outcomes.

▲ SUMMIT · DAYS 60–90 

Systematize & Hand Off

"Can this hold without us in every meeting?" We codify what's working into process and dashboards, coach the team, and make the gains repeatable.

You leave with: documented playbooks, a team that can hold the ground, and a clear read on whether you need a permanent hire.

▲ THE RECORD 

Most firms specialize in one function and hand you off for the rest. We don't.

Security built by people who live it — not a checkbox exercise.
