Scale to Exit™ with Alejandra Santos

From Coas to Cadence with Rachel Losser, How to Keep Your Team Aligned while Scaling.


Listen Later

On this episode of Scale to Exit, Alejandra sits down with Rachel Lasser, Founder & CEO of Lasser Consulting, a project delivery powerhouse serving companies from high-growth SMBs to $1B+ enterprises. Rachel breaks down why “great delivery” is the ultimate growth lever—and how even large organizations stall without the right checkpoints, communication cadence, and leadership follow-through.

We cover the red flags of scaling too fast, how to align global/cross-functional teams around the same KPIs, and why your “say-do ratio” is the foundation of trust in any transformation. Rachel also shares how to choose the right-sized tech stack (no Lamborghinis when you need a Civic), when to start building a data foundation (hint: as soon as you hire your first employee), and practical ways to find and fix bottlenecks—without defaulting to “fire someone.”

You’ll learn:

  • The #1 red flag when companies scale without a delivery framework

  • How leaders create accountability (and what breaks it)

  • A comms playbook for change: repeat, multi-channel, consistent

  • Simple exercises to kill wasteful meetings (Start/Stop/Continue + “What would a big shot change?”)

  • KPI traps—and how to measure process maturity before velocity

  • Bottleneck diagnosis: handoffs, approvals, and…sometimes the leader

  • Tooling that actually fits (Smartsheet/Airtable/Hive, ERP/CRM + data lakes)

  • Balancing agility with structure: where to experiment vs. standardize

    Who it’s for: Founders, COOs/CFOs, PMO leaders, and any team stuck in “lots of meetings, little movement.”
