I’m Abby Buchmiller. I scaled a solar company to $250M in four years. I’m building Radicl now. What I do with founders is twenty years of operator pattern-recognition applied to your specific situation. I work on the actual business with you.

how we work together

You can choose how deep you want to go. All engagements start with an application. I read every one. If we’re a fit, I’ll respond within a week.

one-time
Clarity Call.

A single focused session. You come with a problem, a decision, or a direction you need to stress-test. We cut through it.

4 weeks
Ops + Strategy Sprint.

A short, high-intensity engagement. We pick the one or two levers that matter most right now and move on them.

8 weeks
Full Transformation.

End-to-end. Systems, structure, team, revenue model. The kind of work that changes how the business actually runs.

custom
C-Suite Partnership.

For founders building at scale who need a strategic partner with real operator experience in the room, not just on a call.

custom
Board Advisory.

A standing seat at the table. Operator judgment on strategy, AI, and growth for boards that want experience over theory.

for larger companies

corporate AI advisory.

For mid-cap and enterprise companies putting AI to work where it counts — inside operations, with measurable value. I advise executive teams and boards on implementing AI as real operating infrastructure: the use cases worth building, the systems that support them, and the teams that run them. I’m deploying this inside my own companies right now; the advice comes from production, and it comes with the scars.

Engagements are shaped to the company — advisory retainers, executive workshops, or a board seat. Start with the same application below and note the company and scale.

real solutions, in production

“If your company isn’t yet an industry titan, you’ll want Abby on your side. A Swiss Army knife of solar, and someone who’s seen battle in ways not many people can claim.”

let’s fix what’s broken. let’s build what’s next.

A short application: who you are, what you’re working on, what you’re trying to figure out. I read every one. If we’re a match, I’ll be in touch within a week. Applications reviewed weekly.

The right working relationship is rare. I take it seriously and I expect you to. If it’s right, we’ll both know. If it’s not, I’ll tell you and point you to someone better suited.
