The name

A loom weaves separate threads into something stronger.

  • Loom

    What your business is already great at, woven together with hard-earned experience.

  • The X is collaboration

    We work inside your team, not from the outside.

  • Why we exist

    The businesses that need this experience most usually can’t hire it full-time.

Our values

It’s not just what we say. It’s how we do things.

  • Create with Integrity

    We think hard about what to create and why. We follow through on what we commit to, even when it’s hard. That’s how trust gets built.

  • Deliver with Commitment

    Real success is measured by what lasts. We take the long view and build things that endure for our clients, our team, and our communities.

  • Learn to Grow

    We start every relationship by learning what you’re great at and where you want to go. We bring our experience with confidence, but we stay curious.

  • Enjoy the Journey

    We work hard, laugh often, and celebrate wins along the way. Demanding work should still be work you look forward to.

Skin in the game

We participate in the value we create.

When it makes sense, we structure our compensation so that we only do well when you do. That ownership mindset shapes everything: we dig into the fundamentals, we ask hard questions, and we tell you the truth even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s what a real partner does.

Work with us

Join the bench.

LoomNX works as a network of experienced operators. If you’ve run a business, led a P&L, or taken a company through a raise or a turnaround, and want your next chapter building alongside founders, we’d like to hear from you.

We also connect operators in our network with portfolio companies looking for their next leader.
