Strategic Advisory
Private advisory for CEOs or boards navigating significant growth, acquisitions, succession or capital raising. Direct, confidential and scoped to the decision in front of you.
Board appointments
The person boards appoint.
Investor. Strategic advisor. Founder transition partner. Non-executive director. Keynote speaker. I take a seat at the table of companies between $1M and $100M and hold the line on governance, profit and enterprise value — alongside the founder, accountable to the shareholders.
Services
Four ways I sit alongside a company
Founder Transition Partner
Appointed by boards or shareholders to work alongside the Founder or CEO as the business moves from founder-led to enterprise. Leadership capability, executive team design and clean handover of control.
See the transition workNon-Executive Director or Advisory Board Member
For companies that need governance, cadence and genuine strategic oversight. I take a seat at the board table, hold management to a standard and keep the board focused on the decisions that move enterprise value. Over 15 years of board experience as NED & Chair.
Speaking
Keynotes and closed-room sessions on enterprise value, founder transition, capital and exits — drawn from twenty exits and $400m raised, not theory.
What I bring to a board
Scrutiny, capital fluency and a business that holds its value.
- —Operator experience across twenty exits, not observer commentary
- —A capital lens — what investors, buyers and lenders actually diligence
- —Governance that sharpens decisions instead of slowing them
- —Independence from management and clarity with shareholders
- —A non-executive director who asks the question nobody in the room wants to ask
Appointments are selective.
I take on a small number of board and advisory roles each year so each one gets real attention.
