Jeff Tsai The Unsticker of Things
The operator leaders call the moment a team stalls, priorities blur, and the important work gets trapped in complexity. The job is simple to say and hard to do: simplify the path, restore the cadence, make the next move obvious.
Jeff is the founder of Operation Ninjas. For more than a decade he has worked with founders, small business owners, and nonprofit leaders who are stuck as the bottleneck in their own organization, and builds the systems that get them unstuck.
On the business side, he co-built and ran a federal accelerator that served 400-plus business owners, with the systems behind his work reaching 2,000-plus businesses. He has also advised 100+ nonprofits on CRM, fundraising, and operations. For one national nonprofit network, he led their first CRM rollout in a decade across 11 chapters, moved 80+ events a year onto standardized processes, and chose software that cost 66% less than the alternative without losing quality.
The job is always the same: clean systems, real accountability, and a clear next move, whether the goal is a business that finally runs without you or a mission with the operational backbone to grow.

Common questions
Who is Jeff Tsai?
Jeff Tsai is the founder of Operation Ninjas. For more than a decade he has been the operator leaders call when a team stalls and the important work gets trapped in complexity, building the systems that get founders, small businesses, and nonprofit leaders unstuck.
What kinds of organizations has he worked with?
A wide range, from founder-led small businesses to dozens of nonprofits, across operations, technology, fundraising systems, and team building. The common thread is hands-on execution, not just strategy decks.
What makes Operation Ninjas different?
It is hands-on operational execution, building and running the systems rather than handing over a report and walking away. The firm is also deliberately selective, taking on the organizations it is genuinely a fit for rather than everyone who asks.
Does Operation Ninjas work with both companies and nonprofits?
Yes. There are two tracks: fractional COO support for founders and small businesses, and operations and revenue support for nonprofit leaders willing to run their mission with a business mindset.
How do I know if it is a fit?
A single fit call. It is a straightforward conversation about where you are stuck, and you leave with a clear next move whether or not you end up working together.
If you are building something that matters, Jeff wants the conversation.
A calm, high-accountability operator in your corner. One fit call tells you whether it is a match, and you leave with a clear next move either way.
