What I do
Senior, plural-form advisory. One operator in the room.
Engagements usually take one of these shapes. Most combine more than one.
- Executive advisory to the CEO and board
- A trusted counterpart to the chief executive and directors on strategy, capital, governance, and the calls that don’t delegate. Steady counsel, on a confidential basis.
- Interim leadership: interim CEO, interim COO, executive in residence
- Stepping in to run the company, or a critical function, for a defined window. Useful during a leadership transition, a crisis, or while a search runs.
- Turnaround & transformation advisory
- A fast, honest read on the business, a short list of priorities that actually move the numbers, and hands-on help getting them done. Diagnosis, stabilization, recovery.
- Cross-border strategy and market entry
- Helping U.S. companies enter or recover international markets, and international companies land in North America. Built on two decades of work in government, diplomacy, and multinationals.
- CEO succession and leadership transitions
- A calm hand for boards planning a succession, onboarding a new chief executive, or navigating the first ninety days of a new leadership chapter.
