Hi, I'm J.D. Deitch.
I help businesses grow up, scale up, transform, and exit.
For over 20 years, I’ve built a reputation in the consumer data and insights sector for scaling operations and streamlining execution to unlock shareholder value.
I’ve led nearly every corporate function—from sales and marketing to operations, product, and HR—in businesses of all sizes and ownership structures, from small founder-led startups to mid-sized PE scaleups to large public companies.
My Advisory Work
Growth Stage Companies
I partner with founders and leadership teams to remove bottlenecks and put people, processes, and systems in place to scale their go-to-market and operational functions. With clear goals and crisp execution, we lay the groundwork for profitable, sustainable growth.
Investment Firms (PE/VC)
From pre-deal diligence through to post-deal execution and integration, I leverage my deep operating and M&A experience to identify and mitigate risks, guiding management teams of portfolio companies to achieve growth and unlock shareholder value.
Traditional MRAs
With 20+ years of proven operating experience, I help market research agencies transform their operations to stay competitive and scale. I work with leadership teams to redesign their organizations, rebuild processes and functions, and adopt new, more efficient ways of working.
