Rigo Torres brings over 15 years of hands-on experience across manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics operations. His career path has taken him from the warehouse floor and manufacturing lines to driving shipments and leading teams, giving him a deep understanding of the challenges businesses face at every stage of the supply chain.
Rigo’s approach is grounded in practical experience rather than theory. He has a keen eye for spotting inefficiencies, communication breakdowns, and process gaps that often go unnoticed by traditional consultants. One of his notable achievements includes leading the transition from outdated analog tools to modern digital calibration systems, which improved accuracy, reduced downtime, and delivered measurable cost savings. He has also helped businesses improve material tracking and streamline purchasing strategies to reduce waste and better match inventory with demand.
What sets Rigo apart is his commitment to small and midsize businesses. He knows these companies need solutions that are not only effective but also realistic and affordable. Rigo avoids cookie-cutter recommendations and instead provides tailored advice rooted in real-world conditions. His work does not end when the report is delivered because he offers ongoing support to ensure the changes stick and deliver value over time.
Rigo founded Hawthorne Small Business Consulting to fill a gap he saw in the industry: a need for honest, hands-on consulting that truly understands and respects the realities of industrial operations. His clients appreciate his straightforward style, deep expertise, and personal dedication to helping their businesses run leaner, smarter, and more profitably.
