Meet Travis
How they got into what they do:
Travis spent nearly 20 years in the automotive industry with high-end brands like BMW and Porsche before transitioning into healthcare leadership. After serving as Director of Operations for the nation’s largest fertility companies and COO for a major East Coast surgical center, he decided to leverage his extensive M&A and operational expertise to launch his own consulting practice.
Who they love serving:
He is passionate about helping small business owners—specifically those in the trades or healthcare practices—who are feeling the weight of burnout or struggling to realize their long-term vision.
What matters most to them:
Travis transitioned from the corporate C-suite to independent consulting because he saw a gap where business owners were getting “stuck” in the day-to-day grind, and he wanted to provide the strategic roadmap necessary for them to scale sustainably.

Connected to the Houston Community
Travis Lairson is far more than a business strategist; he is a cornerstone of the Houston and Rosenberg professional landscapes. As a Houston City Beat Community Connector, Travis embodies the program’s mission of fostering genuine growth through human connection. He doesn’t just attend networking events; he actively builds the “Community Growth Engine” by bridging the gap between local entrepreneurs and the strategic resources they need to thrive.
A Leader in Local Arts & Governance
Travis’s commitment to his community is most visible through his leadership within the Art League of Fort Bend. Serving on the Board of Directors, Travis has held key roles, including:
Director of Membership: Focusing on growing the league’s reach and ensuring local artists have a supportive home.
Visionary Facilitator: In 2025, Travis led the Board’s strategic retreat, helping the 501(c)3 nonprofit craft its 10-year vision and refine its role as a cultural ambassador for Fort Bend County.
Digital Innovation: He has spearheaded the league’s transition to digital systems, implementing online directories and modernizing the way the organization communicates with its members and the public.
Connecting the Houston Business Ecosystem
Through his business, TLN Consulting Group, and his involvement with Houston City Beat, Travis serves as a strategic “hub” for business owners. He is frequently found at networking events throughout the Houston metro, where he applies his “superpower” of lead generation to help other members find unique ways to get prospects to engage.
Whether he is hosting his Monthly Masterclass for diverse business categories or advising fellow members on overcoming operational bottlenecks, Travis is dedicated to the philosophy that entrepreneurship should not be a lonely journey. His presence in the community ensures that local trades and healthcare practices have a dedicated advocate who values “local community importance” as much as global business strategy.
