Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if we're a fit?
I work with founders, CEOs, and boards at moments that carry real consequence - a stalled scale, a structural transformation, a leadership gap, a market entry that's more complex than it looked. I take on three clients at a time, by design. If the challenge is significant, let's talk.
How is this different from a consulting firm?
Consulting firms send a team. You get a partner for kickoff and then junior or mid-level analysts for execution. Here, you get a senior executive (me), consistently, with the battle-tested judgment to make the calls and the years of global context to make them well. No handoffs, no knowledge loss. Full focus, collaboration, and responsiveness.
Do you work across geographies?
Much of my career has been spent at the intersection of emerging markets and Western stakeholders. That gap - between ground truth and what's thought in Paris, Stockholm, or Dallas - is where strategies break. That bridging is core to what I do.
How does pricing work?
Scoped to the problem, not billed by the hour. Structured around a monthly retainer and an agreed duration. Project work is fixed-fee with milestone payments. Engagements are priced at senior executive compensation level, fractional. Details on the intro call.
How do you work — remote, on-site, time zones?
Mostly remote. But whenever presence matters - board session, key stakeholder meeting, critical moment, initial discovery, major governance- I'm there. I've worked across multiple continents throughout my career; the time zones and travel are second nature. Arranged case by case, reflected in the engagement terms.
What about confidentiality?
We sign an NDA, as a baseline, always. Beyond that: I don't discuss clients, don't name them without permission. Three-client limit means I'm unlikely to work with anyone in your space.
I only keep three clients at a time.
