Theory is easy.
Execution is everything.

Most businesses don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of friction. Broken processes, misaligned teams, and tech stacks that create more work than they save.

Stintwell takes on defined, high-impact stints inside your business: diagnosing bottlenecks, redesigning systems, and modernizing the operational backbone. We don't just leave you with a PDF strategy; we leave you with a machine that runs.

Systems Design

Architecture that supports scale, not bureaucracy.

Process Engineering

Removing friction and automating the routine.

Tech Modernization

Tools that serve the mission, not the other way around.

The Operator

Quietly, precisely, and without theatrics.

Steve Barclay is an operator at heart—shaped by his Marine Corps background and refined through years of leading operations for fast-growing service organizations.

He built Stintwell on a simple idea: focused engagements, executed well. The firm exists for leaders who need clarity, operational strength, and disciplined follow-through—not theory.

Before founding Stintwell, Steve rebuilt departments, modernized tech stacks, and led teams through transformation during periods of intense growth. His approach is hands-on, analytical, and grounded in reality.

A rapid, deep-dive assessment of your current operational health, tech stack, and bottlenecks. We find the friction.

Systems Rebuild

Re-architecting how work flows through your company. Implementation of new tools, automations, and SOPs.
