fast mover
Someone who hustles
Fast mover is military slang for a jet fighter or attack aircraft, distinguished from slower helicopters and propeller planes.
The term emphasizes speed as the defining characteristic: We've got fast movers inbound for close air support.
In business contexts, a fast mover is someone who acts quickly and decisively, or a product that sells rapidly.
The phrase can also describe anyone or anything that progresses or advances with unusual speed.
