About RYNO
From the Control Tower to Portfolio Company Execution
I’m Zac Hedrick, founder of RYNO Communications Consulting.
For 18+ years, I’ve worked in air traffic control, where clear ownership, precise handoffs, and timely decisions are essential. A decade in legislative affairs has also shaped how I align stakeholders and communicate through complex decisions.
I bring that experience to organizational communication consulting for private equity firms and portfolio-company leaders. My focus is identifying communication breakdowns, clarifying decision ownership, and strengthening coordination across teams during growth, post-acquisition integration, and leadership transitions.
Through my Ownership–Standardization–Refinement framework, I help leaders establish clear responsibilities, repeatable communication practices, and reliable follow-through.

THE RYNO APPROACH
A Communication Framework for Portfolio Company Execution
Our Ownership–Standardization–Refinement framework helps portfolio-company leaders clarify decision responsibilities, standardize critical handoffs, and refine communication systems as the business grows and integrates acquisitions.
Ownership
Clarify who owns each decision, handoff, and follow-through so portfolio-company teams can act with accountability during growth and leadership transitions.
Standardization
Define repeatable handoffs, reporting expectations, and escalation paths so teams can coordinate consistently across functions and newly acquired businesses.
Refinement
Review where communication stalls, adjust existing processes, and strengthen decision-making as integration progresses and operating priorities change.
