Founder & CEO, Transforming Business Solutions

Terry Sutherland has spent 30+ years in operating and business leadership across sales, marketing, operations, product development, engineering, controls, and executive leadership, including leadership roles within major public and private companies.
That background includes time with organizations such as Trane, York International, Johnson Controls, Danfoss Turbocor, and CES/Nortek, along with private equity and investor advisory work dating back to 2009. Most of that experience was earned inside operating companies, not behind a consulting desk.
TBS was built around a simple idea: assess the business honestly, build a plan that fits how it actually operates, and stay involved until the plan becomes real. The orientation is industrial and B2B, with practical implementation experience, not theory.
Every time I've been brought in by a president, CEO, or owner, public or private, they described a symptom. A sales problem. A product development problem. An operations problem. But everything in a company can affect revenue, profit, customer service, and the numbers on the financials. If you actually want the company moving faster toward your exit point, you have to understand the current state and what it takes to get to the next level, not just treat the symptom in front of you.
