Strategic Advisory Focus
- • Board and executive-level strategic decision support
- • Technology and platform strategy, selection, and risk assessment
- • Organizational and operational clarity during periods of change
- • Independent perspective on complex, cross-functional initiatives
How I Engage
I work directly with founders, boards, and senior executives as a trusted, independent advisor. Engagements are intentionally limited, discreet, and focused on decisions that materially impact enterprise value. My role is not execution-for-hire, but strategic clarity—bringing structure, judgment, and experience to moments that matter.
Selected Experience
- • Key advisor to the founder of a specialized financial software company, serving as a trusted partner for both tactical execution and long-range strategic decision-making.
- • Played a senior leadership role during a period of significant growth, supporting the company’s expansion from fewer than 100 clients to more than 1,500 clients, culminating in its acquisition by a large financial services firm.
