In a marketplace oversaturated with recycled frameworks and surface-level advice, Jared Zych is bringing something rare: a consulting model built from scars, not slideshows.
He doesn’t coach from the sidelines—he steps into the engine room of a business, diagnoses the root issues, and rebuilds from within. No playbooks. No fluff. Just clarity, connection, and execution.
“I’ve been through what most leaders spend their careers trying to avoid,” Zych says.
“That pain gave me pattern recognition. I know when a business is bleeding energy—and how to stop it.”
Beyond Advice—This Is Alignment
Xtivum operates like a special forces unit for businesses under pressure. Whether it’s stalled momentum, fractured leadership, or growth that’s outpacing systems, Zych builds tailored solutions by embedding directly into teams. His approach is fast, precise, and forged in the field—not the classroom.
“Most companies aren’t broken,” he explains.
“They’re just misaligned. The vision’s there—the structure isn’t.”
From C-suite realignments to cross-departmental execution strategies, Xtivum works hands-on across logistics, tech, construction, fitness, media, and more—pulling from a national network of proven operators he’s trusted under fire.
A Consulting Model for Founders, Not Followers
Xtivum isn’t a traditional consultancy—it’s a creative strike team for leaders ready to move. Zych partners with founders, operators, and executives to remove friction, reestablish momentum, and deliver real outcomes.
“The right systems turn role players into superstars,” he says.
“I don’t just match talent to roles—I connect the right people to the right problems.”

Strategy That Doesn’t Wait
The model follows three steps: Diagnose. Design. Execute.
It starts with operational discovery and ends with embedded leadership, clear direction, and measurable results.
“Consulting only works when it’s honest—and backed by action,” Zych says.
Built by Failure. Driven by Clarity.
Zych didn’t take the traditional route. He didn’t graduate with honors or climb the corporate ladder. He built, he lost, and he rebuilt. Xtivum was born from a decade of trial, failure, and the obsession to find what actually works.
“In this game, the test comes first—and the lesson shows up after,” he says.
“I’ve taken the hits most try to avoid. That’s why I see what others miss.”
Who Xtivum Is For
The firm takes on only a handful of high-stakes projects each quarter—designed for leaders with vision, not excuses. If you’re ready to move from strategy to traction, this is where that shift begins.
“Strategy solves the what. Connection solves the why,” Zych says.
“Xtivum delivers both—because real business transformation demands both brains and backbone.”
