At Anchored Partners, we believe the strongest organizations are built through trusted relationships, operational excellence, and a commitment to long-term growth. Our approach is grounded in transparency, accountability, and partnership. We work alongside leadership teams to create meaningful, sustainable results.

Growing organizations often require experienced strategic and operational leadership without the immediate need to expand their executive team. We help bridge that gap by providing hands-on support, operational involvement, and strategic guidance tailored to the unique needs of each business.

We partner with leadership teams to strengthen alignment, improve execution, support critical decision-making, and navigate growth with confidence. Whether addressing operational challenges, organizational change, or scaling initiatives, our focus remains the same: turning strategy into measurable progress.

Our experience spans consumer services and healthcare organizations across both privately held and publicly traded companies. We have supported leaders in environments requiring operational leadership, financial oversight, KPI development, organizational alignment, and strategic execution focused on long-term performance.

More than traditional consulting, Anchored Partners is built on the belief that meaningful results come from active involvement. We integrate with your team, understand your business, and work alongside your leadership to create lasting value.

Matt Simmons

Founder- Operations & Growth Executive

Matt Simmons founded Anchored Partners after more than a decade running large, multi-site organizations through startups, growth, turnarounds, and change. He doesn't advise from the sidelines. He embeds with your team, leads the work, and owns the outcome with you.

Matt has led workforces of more than 1,000 people and owned P&Ls north of $200M. As Regional Vice President of Operations for a national, multi-state restaurant chain, he ran a 40-plus location, $200M+ region, where he delivered 12.5% year-over-year profitability gains and grew sales 32%. He ranked among the company's top five regional vice presidents in the country for four straight years.

He also helped launch Kustom Entertainment, a live events and entertainment business he built under publicly traded Digital Ally Inc. There he brought in $15.6M in new revenue and landed partnerships with IndyCar, NASCAR, the PGA Tour, and Tito's Vodka, all while steering the business through a public spinoff. At Grace Aesthetics, a growth-stage healthcare company, he led an operational turnaround that lifted net profitability by 21% and drove roughly 20% year-over-year gross profit growth. He restructured the organization and its debt, optimized systems and policies, and cut marketing spend by 39%.That track record spans healthcare, hospitality, consumer services, and growth-stage companies, both privately held and publicly traded. It's the range Anchored Partners brings to every engagement.

Matt's leadership took shape long before the boardroom. A military veteran, he was recognized as Soldier of the Year at the company, battalion, and brigade levels through a series of competitions. He later served his community as a police officer. Those years built the way he still works today: with integrity, loyalty, a relentless work ethic, and a refusal to walk away from hard problems. It's the same standard he brings to every organization he partners with.
