DeRose BUILDING BETTER BUSINESSESLet’s talk Tim Butler: Founder & CEO
I’m Tim Butler. I’ve led organizations on a nationwide scale, working shoulder to shoulder with leadership and frontline teams to strengthen performance, develop leaders, and turn strategy into results.

Why I built DeRose
A strong quarter can coexist with exhausted people. Growth can conceal inconsistent execution. A busy leadership team can still be pulling in different directions.
I’ve led organizations on a nationwide scale with a hands-on approach. I’ve worked directly with management teams and frontline employees, connecting executive decisions to what happens in the field, in the customer experience, and in the daily work of the business.
I founded DeRose to bring that executive operating perspective to owners and leadership teams. I understand the responsibility of making decisions that affect people, customers, and financial performance and the challenge of building consistency across an organization while keeping it moving.
I bring a whole-business view and a hands-on approach to execution. I work alongside leaders to identify the constraints, align the team around the priorities, and carry decisions into the daily routines and accountability that move performance forward.
The conviction behind DeRose
Better businesses are built when strategy, people, and daily execution move as one.
