op·ex / äpeks: noun: FINANCE - Operational expenditure. These are the costs a business incurs to produce goods and services. They are the ongoing costs of maintaining a business's day-to-day operations. OPEX can also include: Rent, Equipment, Inventory Costs, Marketing, Payroll, Insurance, and Funds for research & development. OPEX is the first expense shown on a company's profit and loss statement. The amount left over after operating expenses have been deducted from gross revenue is known as operating income.
MY STORY
Hi! My name is Harry Glazer. Consistent with my consulting approach, I will save you the ‘business speak’ and try to give you a quick and easy way to understand who I am, what I do, and how I do it.
​
I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil into an entrepreneurial family. I’ve always had this insatiable curiosity about how things work and how to make things more efficient. One of my mentors once said to me, “You possess that innate ability to go into a business and figure out what works, what doesn’t and how to make it run better.” This perfectly describes how I can add value. Whether it is something related to insurance, HR, operations, or sales – I feel very confident that I will provide exponential returns in future efficiency and profitability.

MY APPROACH
Most consultants will usually follow a similar approach: so how am I any different?
Practical – Once I learn the problem and test a possible solution, I will prioritize the practicality of the solution to ensure that execution is complete. Out-of-touch recommendations simply add to the list of ‘projects’ that never happen.
Unbiased – No favorites or ‘special deals’. My commitment is to what’s best for your business, not for mine. I have no loyalties to your vendors, employees, or ideas. If the data tells a different story, that is where we will go.
Courageous – I am not afraid to go toe-to-toe and challenge everything. In my opinion, you have to! As a matter of fact, phrases like, “That’s not going to change” or “That’s how we’ve always done things” are great indicators that I should look deeper; even if challenging the status quo might ruffle some feathers. While I hope we can be friends, that is not why you should engage me.
Relationships are King! – I rely heavily on relationships. While being practical, unbiased, and courageous can lead to difficult conversations - diplomacy and compassion go a long way. I rely on my core principles to build meaningful, long term relationships and have the rolodex to prove it.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Harry Glazer while I was the CFO for a general contractor in Ontario, CA. Our transition to Harry’s company was not a process I took lightly. We interviewed many providers and found ourselves with an obvious choice. Harry made the process comfortable and made sure to help coach us through some critical decisions and helped ensure that our implementation experience was top notch".
