Thomas Rechtien

Thomas Rechtien is the founder of Rechtien Consult, the accountability and execution advisory for owner-led manufacturing, construction and industrial businesses between $5M and $50M. He works as an embedded partner inside leadership teams, not as an outside consultant who delivers a deck and disappears, but as someone who gets in the trenches and builds alongside the owner and the team. His work follows the From Stuck to Scaling approach of Clarity, Alignment, Focus and Momentum, turning operational chaos into disciplined, scalable execution so the business runs without everything going through the owner. Before founding Rechtien Consult, Thomas spent more than 20 years in steel and industrial manufacturing in the U.S. and Europe, serving as CEO, COO and EVP, including running a $150M+ enterprise. He has led turnarounds, scaled international operations and built high-performing sales organizations where execution is the difference between survival and success. It all started in his grandfather's carpentry shop in Germany. Based in Houston, Texas, Thomas works with clients across the U.S. and Germany.
