Inside the deal. Inside the business.
When experience matters most, access a strategic buyer and operator of deals from $15m to $800m, for acquirers ranging from $150m to $16b. P&L accountability for a $150m business and leadership of a $380m business unit. Founder of multiple companies (some failed), with experience inside PE-owned, Fortune 200 and founder-led businesses.
Practice Areas
Founders, owners, leadership teams, PE firms and Corp Dev departments bring me in when the stakes are real: an acquisition, a scaling problem, a capital raise, a finance or ops gap, a transformation that has to work.
Advisory
Pragmatic guidance for real challenges and real opportunities – strategy, M&A, capital raises, business models and transformation.
Interim/Fractional
Seasoned CEO, COO, CFO and PE-informed leadership to launch, stabilize, remediate or transform your business.
Executive Guidance
Not a coach - a sounding board with the scars to prove it. Plus leadership and succession support for your team.
Who I work with
Three types of clients, each with a different stake in the outcome:
-
You've made the investment or acquisition. Now you need an outside, operator-level view of what's really driving or limiting value, before it shows up in the numbers.
I bring 25 years of M&A, integration and operating experience to due diligence, portfolio company assessment and post-close performance work.
-
You're accountable for delivering on someone else's investment thesis, often without full authority to make every call yourself.
I've operated inside PE-owned companies in this exact position – translating investor expectations into operational reality, and vice versa.
-
You built it, you run it, and you don't have time for advice that isn't grounded in how businesses actually work. I've been a founder myself – including through failure – and bring the same sharp eye whether it’s a $16b deal or a $5m business.
