Strategic counsel when everyone around you is too close to the situation.
A private conversation with someone whose only stake is you.
For over 40 years, I navigated the rooms you are in now. Complex transitions, high-stakes decisions, and moments where the internal network is simply too close to give objective counsel. I know what those moments cost.
What I offer isn’t a program, a process, or a five-step plan. It is counsel. A focused, private conversation with someone who has sat in those same rooms and carries no agenda except your clarity.
High-Stakes Focus Areas
Most of my clients are navigating intense, time-sensitive personal inflection points where traditional corporate advisory falls short. We partner in confidential, 30-to-90-day advisory sprints to think through scenarios like:
- The Strategic Exit | Protecting equity, reputation, and legacy during a voluntary departure or succession.
- The Forced Transition | Securing a cold, calculated, and optimal exit package when being pushed out.
- The Crossroad Audit | Dissecting high-profile, complex competing offers or private equity buy-ins.
- The Liquidity & Identity Shift | Navigating the intense psychological and operational impact of a major company sale.
- Corporate Divorce & Coups | Acting as a strategically neutral buffer during co-founder fractures or board disputes.
