Founder
David Molina is the founder and principal of Molinas Systems Consulting and author of The Principles of MESLO. He works with contractors, inspectors, and service operators to build structured systems across pricing, operations, and day-to-day execution.
His work focuses on helping owner-operators move from reactive work to controlled systems—improving cost visibility, reducing operational friction, and creating businesses that run without constant intervention.
Across 150+ engagements, the objective has remained consistent: remove ambiguity, formalize decision-making, and build repeatable operating systems that teams can run independently over time.
Field operations at scale—where production, logistics, and margin are decided daily.
Field visits with contractor teams to review execution, production, and cost control.
