Business Turnarounds
Diagnosing the root cause of distress fast and building a clear, actionable recovery plan.
The Business Capital of the West Coast. Brian Wygle brings 40+ years of CEO-level experience to business owners across Los Angeles — turnarounds, exit planning, crisis management, and everything in between.
Los Angeles is home to one of the most diverse and dynamic business ecosystems in the world — spanning entertainment, technology, real estate, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and beyond. With that scale comes complexity, competition, and when things go wrong, the kind of high-stakes pressure that demands experienced, decisive help.
Brian has worked with business owners across every corner of Los Angeles — from Downtown and the Westside to the Valley, South Bay, and beyond. He understands the unique pressures that LA business owners face, from sky-high operating costs and complex labor regulations to the competitive intensity of a global city.
Every engagement starts with understanding your specific situation. Brian provides hands-on, expert guidance at every stage of the business lifecycle — from startup through exit.
