About Doug Platts

I help founder-led companies build momentum. As a fractional COO/operator through Ridgedale Ventures, I optimize growth, align teams, and unlock new revenue streams. I also invest in and acquire early-stage companies to grow within our portfolio.

At Gardenuity, I helped transform the business from a garden kit retailer into a wellness brand, pioneering corporate garden workshops that drive scalable B2B growth. At Dialexa, I built a structured go-to-market strategy, shifting sales and marketing from founder-led to a scalable function.

With 20+ years in sales, marketing, and operations, I’ve helped global brands like Microsoft, LG, Toyota, and Coca-Cola deepen customer engagement. My background in technology and digital strategy enables me to align innovation with business growth.
​
I partner with founders ready for their next stage but in need of an operator to make it happen. If that sounds like you, let’s connect.
