Pursuing Excellence LLC is a Houston operations consulting firm led by Warren Stout, a former vice president who directed a $230 million operating budget across five distribution centers and 3.2 million square feet. We help private equity sponsors, CEOs, and founders fix distribution, logistics, inventory, and supply chain performance in companies between $50 million and $1 billion in revenue. Services include post-acquisition operations diagnostics, distribution center turnarounds and consolidations, 3PL to in-house conversions, inventory accuracy and governance, parcel and freight contract negotiation, WMS and ERP implementation leadership, and fractional COO engagements. Results from prior work include $8 million in annual savings from a 3PL conversion completed in under six months, a 14 percent reduction in transportation cost, and service recovery for a technology services company after a two-site consolidation. Engagements are fixed fee or weekly, scoped in one page, and measured against service levels, inventory accuracy, labor efficiency, transportation cost, and EBITDA.

Our Story
Pursuing Excellence was founded in 2025 by Warren Stout after 19 years leading distribution, logistics, and supply chain operations at the vice president level, including a $230M P&L across five distribution centers. Our premise is simple: operators who have carried the P&L fix problems faster than analysts who have studied them. We work with PE sponsors, CEOs, and founders on the issues that show up in the numbers, and we lead with truth and grace.
What Sets Us Apart
You get the operator, not a team of analysts
The person diagnosing your operation has carried a $230M P&L and run five distribution centers. Findings come from the floor, not a slide library, and the same person stays through execution.Fixed fee, one page scope, measured results
Diagnostics are fixed fee with half credited against execution. Every engagement is scoped in one page and measured against service levels, inventory accuracy, labor efficiency, transportation cost, and EBITDA.Built for private equity timelines
Post-acquisition diagnostics in two to four weeks, written for an investment committee: what is broken, what it costs, what to fix first, and what it will take. Referenceable results in distribution, home furnishings, and technology services.
