DGW / 002 the thesis

growth begins with your operations.

01 operations

When we leverage AI in your operation, it doesn't mean it does everything for you. It means your intellectual property becomes your operating system, and now you're able to execute work at the speed of your thoughts and enable your team to create more value. This supports everything else in your business, from value creation to your business model and go to market.

02 value creation

Once we move beyond automation and augmentation, we get to find where net new value exists inside your organization: how you help clients go further, go wider, or deepen the relationships you already have. This is where net new exists, and this is where the fun begins.

03 strategy

When value creation opens up inside your business, you start to look at your business model completely differently: the key partners you work with, your key relationships, your go to market, and your price points, because your costs and your pricing model shift too. And if you do it proactively, you meet the market where it is, and where it's heading, in the agentic era.

04 relationships

We make sure relationships grow along the way. Just because we're leveraging new technology doesn't mean we're replacing humans. We're amplifying humans and keeping them at the center: the relationship, the judgment, the expertise all stay yours, and the goal is to make you more capable, never to replace you quietly.

DGW / 003 how I help

how I help

I specialize in growth and operational strategy: redesigning your offering, pricing, your go-to-market and sales process, and how your company operates, leverages AI, and builds the infrastructure necessary to reach your growth goals.

we meet you where you're at and what you need.

start here

operations

First, we redesign how you operate.

Leveraging AI in your operation doesn't mean it does everything for you. It means your intellectual property, the way you think, the way you make decisions, the way your team already works, becomes your actual operating system. You get to execute at the speed of your thoughts, and your team gets the room to create more value instead of getting buried in the work that used to eat their day.

This is what we do when we design your AI COO: a customized AI operations system installed inside your business and configured to how you actually work. We scope where the agents create the most leverage, connect them to the tools you already use, and hand over a system you own from day one.

growth strategy

From there, we work together to find net new value.

It starts with deep understanding: auditing your pricing, your pipeline, and your positioning against what has to be true for you to reach your goals, so nothing moves forward on an assumption. When you leverage agents for your operation, you create augmentation for yourself and your work, and with that new time and opportunity, we find and seek net new value. And when we find that net new value, we work on your value proposition: redesigning your business model, your positioning, your pricing, and your go to market. And we also dial in how we attract the right prospects with the new offerings we develop together. This is how we build your Growth Plan together: anchored in reality, in your numbers and your market, and designed for the future.

growth advisory

Most give you a plan and say peace out. We won't.

We're in it with you in the trenches for the long haul, and this is where we roll up our sleeves and work with you through bigger decisions, real world impact, and everything from high level strategy to helping you close your biggest deals. Advisory means concierge support: helping you make the difficult calls, handling the relationships that matter, reviewing where we need to grow and where we need to cut back, and working with you and your team as you lead and step into the future we've designed together. Advisory is an ongoing relationship. And there's an option for you and your team to fly into San Diego for a half day intensive.

DGW / 004 the ethos

do good work is not a label. it is a way of living.

the constant and diligent effort to achieve a new level of excellence in your own life. the hidden inner beauty behind the struggle, the effort and discipline and focus that goes unnoticed. not perfect, but imperfect.

if you've been settling for anything less than who you know you are, I invite you to do good work.

Raul

DGW / 005 words from founders

the strongest case is theirs.

Here's the most honest proof I can offer you. The question is: are you willing to make this work for you?

"Raul helped me change the most important thing about my business - not my offer stack and not my pricing (yes, we changed those too), but my belief in the value I provide. … I set an ambitious goal for myself for the year, and exceeded that by 50%. I also signed my biggest single contract to date, and my win rate continues to be high - even with those changes."

jordana colepresident, ignited

"we engaged Raul to support our global business development efforts, and the results were exceptional. based on our target account criteria, Raul delivered highly focused prospects that allowed our team to hit the ground running. his work significantly shortened our sales cycle, removed ambiguity, and directly connected us with the right decision-makers. the intelligence Raul provided was truly impressive, leveraging real-time events, public disclosures, and corporate news to strategically guide our outreach. what previously would have taken our marketing and sales analysts several weeks to compile, Raul delivered efficiently and actionably. I highly recommend his services to any organization looking to accelerate their pipeline."

michael sobolewskiceo, kinetic business partners

"my only regret is that I didn't work with Raul sooner in my agency career. would have saved me a lot of headaches and a lot of frustration long term. if you have any questions about working with him, ignore the questions, trust yourself, make the decision to jump in, and you will thank me for it later."

"working with Raul has given me my time and my sanity back."

aaron parkinsonceo, 7 mile media sezc

"compassion, creativity, confidence. those are the three words I'd use to describe Raul. he keeps the main thing, the main thing. he's invested in people, and knows that when you take care of people, the results, the money, the success all follow. Raul is someone you want to work with if you want results and an experience."

dr. galen detrikco founder, the thrive dentists

"what I've been missing is the compliment to my genius. Raul is helping me think differently than I am used to thinking, which has helped me take that leap forward. trying to figure all these things out alone would be overwhelming."

janelle amosfounder & chief strategist, elevate growth

"I'd been growing my marketing agency without the support of anyone who had done it before. Working with Raul was a breath of fresh air and a much needed source of knowledge and experience. Having him in my corner to bounce questions and ideas off of was (is) great. If you're on the fence about working with him, trust me, you won't regret it."

Raul Hernandez Ochoa

I only help you do
what I've actually done.

from teams I actually built, P&Ls I actually ran, and clients I actually scaled

I don't have an mba. I haven't been in forbes under some number, and there are no paid awards on the shelf.

what I have is a decade of building and leading revenue teams, scaling service firms, and training thousands of founders in private rooms. I design growth and operations strategies, and I bridge them to immediate execution: because the strategy only matters if it goes live.

I only partner with leaders who develop people, not exploit them. I'm most useful in quarterly, long form engagements where the goal is transformation, not a transaction. if that's your kind of work, we'll get along.

outside of this, I surf (not a pro), train for triathlons, power lift, chase my kids around the house, and take my wife on adventures from time to time.
