STRATEGIC COUNSEL FOR EMERGING MARKET CEOs

You're leading between two worlds.
I help you win in both.

Your operations, teams, and constraints are local. Your capital, board, clients, or ambitions may be global. I help you navigate the gap with strategic counsel and fractional executive support.

Three clients at a time. Direct access. Senior operating judgment.

You have built something serious. Now the company is entering a different stage. Investors want predictability. Boards want confidence. Global clients want standards. AI is changing the operating model. Your local team knows the ground truth, but the people judging the business often sit somewhere else.

Your operations are in one world.

Your capital, board, or clients sit in another.

Most of your time goes to bridging, not building.

Your operations are in one world.

Your capital, board, or clients sit in another.

Most of your time goes to bridging, not building.

Pelios exists for that challenge. Senior operating judgment for emerging-market CEOs who need to scale, professionalize, transform, or regain control without importing an expensive consulting machine.

How we work together

How we work together

Three types of engagement. The same senior judgment in all of them. I work with a small number of leaders when the stakes are high, the context is complex, and the usual playbook is not enough.

TRUSTED COUNSEL

Ongoing advisory. Personal. Confidential.

Monthly.

For high-stakes decisions where you need an independent senior operator beside you. We work through board pressure, investor questions, AI choices, growth moves, leadership tension, and the issues your team may not be able to say out loud.

STRATEGIC PROJECT

A defined push: start to finish, fixed scope.

3 to 6 months.

For a defined transformation, market move, strategic bid, operating reset, or investor narrative. The work has a name, a deadline, and consequences. You need senior judgment and expert execution fast, without a permanent hire.

FRACTIONAL EXECUTIVE

Senior operating capacity inside the business.

6 months +

For companies needing the executive weight and experience of a senior operator without the cost and complication of a full-time hire. Embedded part-time work with authority, accountability, and deliverables.

I keep a maximum of three clients at a time.
