Illuminate. Transform. Align.
I fix what's broken and build what's missing.

About Velarix

I'm Leslie Liebscher, Principal and Fractional Operations Executive at Velarix Consulting. I diagnose what's broken, then either fix it myself or hand you a blueprint you can run with.

The technical work is the easier part to describe. The harder part is walking into a room full of people who don't agree, reading what's actually going on beneath the noise, and cutting through to what actually matters. Then getting people to trust that read and move together because of it. I'm the calm in the storm, and steadiness is contagious.

Spotting broken handoffs, process gaps, and unclear KPIs that have cascading effects takes the same lens. People and systems break the same way: unclear ownership, no shared picture of what's true. Fixing one usually means fixing both.

Every engagement follows the same pattern:

  • Illuminate what's actually going on. The real bottlenecks, who really owns what, the gap between what leadership wants and what's actually happening.

  • Transform it into something that holds. Operating models, KPI frameworks, governance, systems that outlast the person who built them.

  • Align the result back to the business, so everyone's working off the same page.

I've done this at the EVP level inside highly regulated, fast-moving companies. Built BI functions and help desks from scratch. Run major vendor transitions with real money on the line. Been the right hand to executive leadership. The scale shifts, the rigor doesn't.

Velarix comes from Latin: velāre, to veil, and lūx, light. Moving from what's hidden to what's clear.

What I Do

I work with leadership teams navigating real operational complexity. I diagnose, build, and make sure it sticks.

Problems I Can Help Solve:

  • Outgrowing your current workflows

  • Teams pulling in different directions

  • Unclear ownership of decisions or risk

  • A tech stack that’s gotten too complex

  • Evaluating AI and automation tools

  • Migrating to a new platform

  • Losing your outsourced vendor

  • KPIs nobody can explain (or you have none)

  • Tribal knowledge and patches instead of documentation and policies

Proven Results

How I Work

Most engagements run on a monthly retainer, giving you consistent access without the overhead of a full-time hire. Scope, cadence, and focus areas are set together upfront and adjusted as the work evolves.

For clearly bounded initiatives, shorter project-based engagements are also available, scoped and priced around a defined outcome and timeline.

You will get real documentation, not just recommendations. A few sample excerpts below, illustrative only.
