About

Tay Bagley

Founder & Principal

A calm presence. A bold operator.

With over 15 years in healthcare, I've built a career on one principle: simplify the path forward and deliver outcomes that matter. I work with startups finding their footing and established companies ready to scale, bridging the gap between strategy and execution at every stage.

Background

Built for the Complexity You're In

I don't hand you a report and walk away. I get in the work with you, diagnosing what's broken, building what's missing, and staying until it sticks.

From standing up operations at early-stage companies to restructuring core functions at growth-stage ones, my focus has always been the same: cut the complexity, create alignment, and move fast toward what matters.

In high-pressure environments, I'm the steady hand. Leaders and teams describe me as the calm in the room: someone who navigates uncertainty without losing focus, builds trust across competing priorities, and makes decisions with clarity when others are reactive.

I bring together operations, finance, sales, marketing, and systems thinking into a single coherent strategy. My work creates environments where teams feel ownership, not just direction.

Early in my career I was in sales: quota-driven, client-facing, and quietly studying why some businesses scaled and others stalled. That curiosity pulled me toward operations and leadership, and eventually to Ways2Well, where I joined on Day 1 as COO. I built the operational infrastructure from the ground up, hired the entire team, and helped grow the business from zero to a multi-million dollar company in a telehealth space that was still figuring out what it was. From there I took a partner role at Revive Rx Pharmacy, where I oversaw back-office operations, including finance and the accounting function, through a sustained growth period. That's the foundation I bring to every engagement.

I solve problems that matter. I synthesize complex viewpoints, stay calm under pressure, and find practical paths forward so businesses can scale, adapt, and succeed on their own terms.
