Strategic Operating Partner for Founder-Led Businesses
We advise founder-led companies building $3M–$20M enterprises on stabilizing operations, strengthening revenue execution, and scaling enterprise value.
Proven Leadership Across Finance and Operations
Combining Wall Street Precision with Operational Mastery.
James LaRusso brings a rare combination of Wall Street discipline and entrepreneurial execution. As Vice President of Investments at JPMorgan Chase, he oversaw performance across some of the firm’s highest-producing banking relationships. Earlier, he was a million-dollar producer at Merrill Lynch within the firm’s largest producing territory.
Following his finance career, James founded and scaled a multi-state, seven-figure luxury services business, building the operational systems and teams required for sustained growth.
What We Do
Through LaRusso Partners, we work alongside founders as an execution partner — assuming operational responsibility, removing bottlenecks, and building systems that allow businesses to scale without founder dependency. Our focus is measurable improvement, operational clarity, and long-term enterprise value.
MISSION STATEMENT
We exist to bring control, clarity, and disciplined execution to founder-led businesses at critical stages of growth.
Let’s Build Something That Scales.
If your business has outgrown informal operations and requires institutional discipline, we should talk.
