We help CEOs and PE-backed companies scale production, execute disciplined acquisitions, and turn strategy into repeatable revenue and operating performance.
Founder & Principal Operator
Not a consultant who reads about lending. An operator who built lending infrastructure and integrated 70+ acquisitions across 220 locations.
Howard was founding head of growth at a mortgage startup that he scaled from launch to multi-billion dollars in annual production. He directed technology strategy at GE Capital, managed 1,800 employees through complex acquisition integrations, and co-founded a healthcare fintech that achieved a perfect 100 NPS.
When he advises CEOs on M&A readiness, production optimization, or platform scaling, it comes from having done it — not from having studied it. Every framework Humboldt deploys was built in the field, under pressure, with real money on the line.
Every engagement starts with clarity on scope, deliverables, and cost. We reserve execution depth for paid clients — but we show you exactly how we think.
For lenders and PE firms actively pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, or strategic transactions.
For mortgage companies focused on scaling origination volume and tightening operational efficiency.
