Meet Our Team
I’ve always been someone who loves to build teams, systems, and businesses that actually work. Over the course of my career in operations and supply chain, I realized a consistent pattern: I was coming into organizations, fixing what wasn’t working, and building processes that made them stronger, more scalable, and more profitable. That’s what I love most, bringing clarity to chaos and turning it into something sustainable.
I’ve managed multiple lines of business, led teams through high-growth and high-pressure environments, and built operational structures that drive real results. But more than anything, I care about people, building teams that are aligned, accountable, and set up to win.
After taking some time to step back and really think about what I wanted next, I realized I didn’t want to do this halfway. I wanted to do what I love in a way that felt right. So I partnered with someone I trust deeply and have worked with for nearly 14 years, and together we now help businesses build and improve their operations in our own way.
When I am not working, I’m a mom to three incredible daughters and a proud grandma. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and we’re currently building our dream home room by room, which feels pretty fitting for someone who loves building things from the ground up.
Ryan Steffenson
Co-Founder & Managing Director, Operations
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to figuring out how things work, and more importantly, how they can work better. That curiosity has shaped my career into one focused on designing and refining operations that are not just functional, but scalable and resilient. Today, I focus on building and optimizing supply chain systems that support real growth.
Throughout my career in supply chain, logistics, and fulfillment, I’ve consistently stepped into complex environments helping bring structure to operations, improve efficiency, and build systems that support long-term growth. My experience spans warehouse operations, 3PL management, transportation strategy, and omnichannel fulfillment across both direct-to-consumer and retail channels.
I’ve had the opportunity to lead warehouse transformations, design distribution networks, and implement operational improvements that drive measurable impact across cost, performance, and scalability. I’m often brought into situations where things feel disjointed or inefficient, and I enjoy bringing clarity, improving execution, and building processes that teams can rely on.
What I enjoy most is solving real operational challenges. Taking something that feels complex or broken and turning it into a system that runs smoothly and makes sense for the people using it every day.
Outside of work, I’m a husband to an amazing wife and stay active through competitive volleyball, outdoor activities, and snowboarding. I enjoy building teams and communities just as much as I enjoy building systems.
What Makes Us Different
We’re not a traditional consulting firm, we’re a boutique, hands-on partnership. When you work with us, you’re working directly with experienced operators who have built and scaled supply chains in real environments, not just advised from the sidelines.
Between the two of us, we bring deep, complementary expertise across the end-to-end supply chain, from planning and procurement to logistics, fulfillment, and team building. We’ve built high-performing operations in a range of CPG environments, from early-stage startups to companies scaling toward IPO. We understand what it takes at every stage, and more importantly, what comes next.
We don’t just tell you what to do, we roll up our sleeves and do the work with you. Whether it’s building processes, stabilizing operations, or preparing for growth, we’re in it alongside your team.
Why Choose JRS?
Because we’re real people doing real work.
We care deeply about the businesses we partner with and treat them like our own. We understand how overwhelming growth and change can feel, especially when the path forward isn’t clear. That’s where we come in, not just to advise, but to guide, build, and execute.
We bring clarity to complexity, structure to chaos, and a relentless focus on outcomes. We’ll meet you where you are, help you understand what’s next, and do whatever it takes to get you there.
And while we take the work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We build strong relationships, communicate openly, and make the process enjoyable because the best results come from teams that actually like working together.
