About

Senior people only. Then we leave.

I have spent my career working with mid-market businesses at inflection points: firms that are either already in difficulty or showing the early signs of it.

Background

AlixPartners, Kearney, and operating roles

The work at AlixPartners gave a precise sense of what these firms look like 12 to 18 months before problems become public. Kearney added strategy and operations depth. Operating roles — including full P&L responsibility — are what keep the advice from becoming theoretical.

I work with a small group of experienced practitioners — former Kearney consultants and operational CFOs and COOs — brought in where the engagement requires it. The model is deliberate: senior people only, no juniors, no bloated teams. You get the thinking and the doing, without the overhead.

I work with CEOs and CFOs directly. That is the only way this kind of engagement produces honest results.
