I’m Trevor Schmidt, founder of Mantis Worldwide — a business consulting firm that helps founders and operators streamline operations, strengthen supply chains, and build businesses that scale intelligently. With over a decade of experience in procurement, operations, and finance, I’ve led strategic initiatives at high-growth companies, built and rebuilt supply systems from the ground up, and helped leadership teams turn data into clear, actionable decisions. My background includes an MBA in Entrepreneurship, military service in RF Transmission Systems with the U.S. Air Force, and years of hands-on work across manufacturing, e-commerce, and publishing.

At Mantis Worldwide, we focus on the practical side of strategy — modeling operations, optimizing spend, improving systems, and uncovering leverage in the chaos of day-to-day business. Whether you’re dealing with vendor bloat, broken workflows, or trying to turn vision into execution, I help companies build smarter processes and better outcomes. If you need clarity, structure, and results — let’s talk.
